| Post subject: | Power steering fluid capacity. |
I am going to be changing my power steering fluid to Amsoil synthetic fluid and was wonder how much I'll need. I think they are sold in quart bottles. (Plus I need to know so I don't have to pay for shipping twice if I don't have enough!) I checked my owners manual but it didn't give the capacity, just what kind you need. Anyone know for sure? Trying to minimize how much I'll have sitting around after I am done.

Are you sucking out as much of the old fluid as you can? I use 3 bottles for 1st change. suck out old, top off and run for a few minutes, then suck out whats in the res and repeat til all 3 bottles are in there. |

So 3 bottles should get "most" of the old fluid out then? Guess I'll have to place my order then! Thanks!

IIRC when mine was all new after the SFA swap it took 3 bottles to fill it from empty but that was w/ the Ford steering box, etc. |
