Power Steering Fluid for 360

Vl redline

 

Mobil 1 ATF

Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF is a multi-vehicle formula recommended for use in modern high performance automobiles, SUV's, SUT's, vans and other light trucks

• Recommended by ExxonMobil for use in applications requiring Dexron III , Ford Mercon and Mercon V performance levels

 

On the 430 you can use the same fluid as the F1 system. The F1 system is a higher spec and fine to put in the steering. They list a different fluid for the steering but just not available, hence use the f1 stuff

 

For the power steering pump giving seals etc i do not recommend the same as the F1 system.

I would use "castrol dex Merc for older cars"

+1 on what Brian said.

I previously pumped out all my steering fluid and put in Pentosin CHF202 and it turned black very quickly and didn't provide great feel.

Brian recently changed my fluids and used the above Red Line power steering fluid and it's much better now.

 

Here is a link to spec sheet

In the olden days, several manufacturers produced a specific power steering fluid, but these were discontinued. Nice to see Red Line makes one. Incidentally, some manufacturers state not to use Dexron VI in power steering, but Dexron III is OK.

 

Been using Vl in my ps for 5 years. It superseads III

 

At the end of the day
..either go with was.in there originally.. a older spec IIIh Dex or a.dedicated PS like rifle driver mentioned

Every OEM had their own. There were always accusations it was just ATF at a higher price? Who knows.

Been using Redline for a long time. Many Ferraris get the fluid very hot and destroys the oil. In some cases it expands so much it will overflow the reservior. Redline seems to be better on both counts.

 

That recommendation came from my ferrari service manager

 

What i saying is use the older ATF that i provided a link to which is pretty much what was in there from factory or use the PS fluid rifledriver mentioned....i would stay away from more modern ATF due to possible seal issues

Actually ...i also recommend this fluid (link and picture above) for early 360 F1 systems as well due to some concern of seals .. f430 F1 system i recommend the ATF sync from Mobil 1 (non lv version)

By the time the stradale was made iirc the seals were updated in the F1 system so you should also be ok with Mobil 1 syn Dex/Merc version..
