Power steering fluid (1 Viewer)

[Busman]

hello, In Spain and just checked and the power steering fluid needs topping up, in my handbook it says under approved lubricants
Power Steering - ESSO ATF D
Would I find that here (sanluca) or what would be the alternative
Thanks in advance

Just found this Dave. Hope it's of some help.

Automatic Transmission Fluid
Some vehicles, particularly those manufactured between the years 1980 and 2000, can use automatic transmission fluid (ATF) as a substitute for power steering fluid. If the power steering fluid in your vehicle has a reddish or purplish colour, it is very likely ATF. You should consult your owner's manual or the car manufacturer if you are unsure.

Bought some yesterday with ATF on it and it was red so thanks for the info.

Did you look at both sides of the dip stick ? The levels are influenced by temperature so there are two scales

There was no dip stick just a min - max on the reservoir, made sure van level then topped it up, didn't need much.
Thanks for help
