USE POWER STEERING FLUID in your Power Steering Pump.
ATF is for Automatic transmissions.

Dirty & dark steering fluid
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last time I took one of our vehicles for service, the dealer said the power steering fluid (Dexron-II) was "dark & dirty". He recommended a drain and fill for $130
I declined but been thinking about it. Power steering fluid is nearly identical to automatic transmission oil. It does operate in a closed system, and can warm up quite a bit.
What would cause it to turn dark and dirty? I drained some of it myself and didn't find the "dirty" claim to be true even though it is much darker than the original reddish color Dexron-II is.
Anyone got ideas?
SAS, but now you spend time in exile here on calguns.org
So you still waste time online.
