Can you use any power steering fluid or must the GM in your 2004 Olds Silhouette minivan?

You should not use just any power steering fluid in your 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette. While many power steering fluids are compatible across various makes and models, using the incorrect type can damage your power steering system.

Your 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette's owner's manual will specify the correct type of power steering fluid. Generally, GM vehicles of that era often require a Dexron VI or equivalent power steering fluid. However, always check your owner's manual for the definitive answer. Using the wrong fluid could lead to leaks, pump failure, or other costly repairs.
