Power steering fluid for 03 Excursion gas
This may be a silly question but I have seen a few post's regarding ATF vs power steering fluid for these things.. Which is it? ATF or PSF?

Thanks.

Now you have an electronic version, so you can search for the fluids and any other questions you may have. I keep both electronic and paper handy. Good Stuff!
