    What are you using in your F355 for power steering fluid? I can't and won't bother trying to find the recommended Shell DONAX TA, again. It's again time for a complete fluid change.

    BTW, no smart ass comments from the 348 Brotherhood. :)

    You know, when I was first typing this thread, I thought of all the funny, smart ass responses I would get from the 348 Brotherhood...:)

    All the kidding aside, the 348 and the F355, as well as their respective owners, are really hand-and-glove.

    Pap, my God, you're almost at 50K! Way to go, you big Aussie!

    and they get mad at 355 owners for starting trouble??? sheesh!

    In my lowly 355, I use nothing special for the steering fluid, whatever they have at the parts store from a decent brand.


    C'mon PAP, you can do it, 15 more!!!

    Yeah, I have to admit that I kind of started this thread hoping to get sh-t from the Brotherhood! I, personally, love the good natured back-and-forth between the 348 and F355 owners. However, when push comes to shove, I don't think there is one of us here that won't give the shirt off his back to someone in need in the forum.

    +1, absolutely. I'm always happy to give a 348 owner a ride when they're stuck on the side of the road :D

    Scott- Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is what you need. I use Valvoline Dexron VI Full Synthetic ATF.

    Sorry, no 348, but I did have a Dino, a Daytona and a 308 GTS with manual steering. Much prefer the power steering on the 575M to the forearm strengthening steering on the Daytona. Have to admit the Dino steering was pretty awesome, though, but the 575M with the handling package steering ECU is very close.
