Here's why:
* Fluid Type: Porsche uses specific types of power steering fluid. It's likely to be a synthetic fluid, but the exact type varies depending on the year and model of your 944.
* Compatibility: Using the wrong fluid can damage your power steering system, leading to leaks, pump failure, and steering issues.
* Performance: The correct fluid ensures optimal performance and longevity of your power steering system.
Here's how to find the right fluid:
1. Check Your Owner's Manual: The most reliable source for this information is your Porsche 944's owner's manual.
2. Consult a Porsche Mechanic: A mechanic specializing in Porsches can provide the most accurate information based on your car's year and model.
3. Contact a Porsche Dealer: Your local Porsche dealership can help you find the correct power steering fluid.
Important Note: Never use standard hydraulic fluid in a Porsche power steering system. It's not compatible and will likely cause damage.
