Sunday i checked the power steering fluid and saw it was a little low, is there any specific fluid i should be putting in there? Or is any kind fine? I know its a dumb question, but i thought it might be like putting normal oil in your engine when you have been putting synthetic in.
btw i spray painted the front and rear rotor caps, calipers and the brake pad holder flat black. it came out real nice, but im going to go back and do a touch up job.

Just use some cheapo stuff. I change PS fluid container around every oil change. Holds a few ounces, maybe 16.

No sweat, it's just hydraulic oil. Just like ATF, but ATF has more detergents. Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, ATF was used for PS. lol

Just stuff to keep the system clean. Not to worry, just use cheapo PS stuff.
A turkey baster works well to remove the old stuff.
