Motor oil and power steering fluid are not interchangeable and should never be mixed.
- Power steering fluid is a hydraulic fluid specially designed for use in power steering systems.
- Motor oil, on the other hand, is a lubricant used in engines and is not formulated to withstand the high temperatures and pressures experienced in power steering systems.
Using motor oil in your power steering system can damage seals, hoses, and other components, leading to leaks, reduced power steering performance, and even complete system failure.
Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the correct type of power steering fluid.
