Is there any special type of automatic transmission fluid to use when refulling the resovoir....

 

yea, power steering fluid.

 

your message and title dont match
for automatic transmissions use automatic trasnmission fluid
for power steering use power steering fluid. as stated above

 

Well, the reason that he asks is that the P/S reservior (and the FSM) states to use ATF. Use Type F ATF. Other than that, nothing special is needed. I have used both ATF and regular P/S fluid in the past. Either seems to work well.

 

use type-f thats what it calls for

 

Thanks for the info....much appreciated

 

I use P/S fluid. No problems here. I think the reason for the FSM calling for ATF Type F is because it may have detergents in it. IIRC, auto tranny fluid has detergents in it to keep the system clean.

However, I run just P/S fluid, haven't run into one problem. You'll be good to go with either.

 

ugg... use ATF type F trust me... There are so many different layers of fail in this thread...
