Question for all of you:

My STR uses a Moly type $16.00 per L. (Autozone) power steering fluid. I'd like to trace a leak using UV tracer but want to make sure the tracer is compatible with the Jag style (autozone vs. Jaguar dealer) moly power steering fluid.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thank you for any and all input.

Ordinary text will do, no need to shout.

PAS fluid spec is Dexron 3.

 

Re: shout....I'm new to posting and thought that perhaps....if you're just a bit 'visually challenged' (like myself) then, once again, perhaps a larger font would be an act of courtesy.

I here by apologize profusely and ardently to any and all that all that I have or will offend by and in my ignorance to all the seasoned midnight Jag forum watchers.....

Thanking you in advance for you patience and consideration. :-)

 

m.w.l.

I've deleted all your duplicate posts, please don't post the same thing repeatedly and please use the relevant section of the forum for your model.

 

I believe the tracer is compatible with p/s fluid, but check with a JAG mech before you do it. It is compatible with most, if not all, motor oils. Been there done that.

 

Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it. In my rather extensive research I haven't found any information to the contrary. That being said my first car was a Jag and in those days all English cars (at least that I was aware of) required non U.S.A. type of fluids. Hence my caution re: this (just developed) power steering leak. After a 42 year hiatus from Cat Cars....I'm back and have only, what is now, archaic knowledge.

If I've learned nothing else in that hiatus....I've learned that a little extra 'dose' of caution is better than too little.

Thank you again for your input. Much appreciated.
