QUOTE(zuozi @ Aug 28 2024, 01:53 PM) Most hydraulic power steering pump use automatic transmission fluid, anything with dexron 3 is more than enough. Family say not worth, change new steering rack for 10 years old carPower steering pump do need oil change every 60k /km to increase the life span of your power steering pump oil seal, bush , gasket, etc Now market many refurbished power steering pump you can insist refurbished your own power steering pump/rack if still serviceable and leave the car at workshop for 3 to 5 working day's if you okay with it , no need new power steering rack or pump, if workshop insist you to change new either chop you or workshop collect old pump/steering rack refurbished and sell again to earn more 😂  I think i never request change the oil |

QUOTE(zuozi @ Aug 28 2024, 02:29 PM) Hydraulic power steering pump/rack usually can last very long, my pickup truck dmax rough condition usage fluid change every 30k/km this year 16 year old still no sign of leaking at 500k /km , per fluid change/flush roughly rm120 x 16 time for my usage also roughly RM 2k 😂 My car only 200k, not sure user problem or bad luck |
