November 21, 200322 yr What happens if you put regular Power Steering Fluid in the Pump of an EA82?? I just did it! Then heard I wasn't suppose to.
November 21, 200322 yr it might foam a little. if its just a little, i dont think it would hurt anything....
November 21, 200322 yr Author Was I suppose to use regular ATF in that pump? Should I drain the resevoir before starting the car?
November 21, 200322 yr Nothing most likely...most generic power steering fluids are the about the same as Automatic Transmission Fluid...which I think is what is called for on Subaru power steering units. I know anything and everything about fluids and oils for cars...managed a fast lube for five years...with another eight years of light duty mechanical work...including engine pulls...etc....so..anyhoo...you should be fine...no worries. I don't have power steering...gotta use my muscles to steer...hehhe...take care.
November 22, 200322 yr Will John deere HY-GARD regular viscosity work? I have used it as ATF with good results in my cadillac.
November 22, 200322 yr Maybe GB has heard about the power steering in an XT6 This unit MUST use the Subaru special PS fluid. As Xgod says, normal PS fluid in the other Roos will be fine.
