Wouldn't disagree with anyone BUT The friction co-effecient that is added to dextron to all it to work as Mercon can cause damage to pwr. steering componets. Even older cars that were designed to use ATF. Have read several reports that specify how & why, bottom line is USE a fluid designed for power steering. Any fluid with Mercon has small bits of "metal" that are designed to allow auto-trans clutches to lock-up better. MB Retailers sell domestic PWR steering fluid under part number Q-1-46-0001 for $9.25 list price.
