Power steering ??

gamjunior · Oct 25, 2010

What power steering fluid are you guys using for your hydro set up's? My set up seems to be still running too hot for the fluid, I checked it this weekend and noticed it went from a deep purple to a nasty brown color. I'm running the PSC double ended full hydro with -6 line, heat sink cooler, remote cooler w/fan, and about 10 12oz bottles of Max EZ fluid. So what are you guys using or what am I doing wrong?

A lot of guys run Amsoil. I ran GM Mr. Goodwrench P/N 89020661, you get it at the dealer.

I've always ran full synthetic atf in my psc tc pump.. never had a problem...
factory toyota tc style pumps specifically call for synthetic atf... look at the cap on a tacoma...

I believe PSC states that running ATF in their pumps will void their warranety and that you should not use it.

I am on my 2nd PSC pump and it will probably need replaced soon......I have been running some non-foaming hydro fluid. I think the biggest issue I have is the way some of my line were routed, that is one of things I am going to address this winter.
