Default synthetic blend power steering fluid

While checking my powersteering fluid level the other day I noticed it was very low on the stick. Is it OK to use Havoline synthetic blend PS fluid in my 63?

Thanks

Hard to beat the GM juice - been using it for 40 years in EVERY damned thing I've owned that HAD a P/S pump!

i can't see the harm, you can buy and use blended motor oils so i don't see any harm to adding a synthetic to the PS pump.

ALL power steering fluid is a "synthetic blend", and always has been - that's marketing hype. Use the current GM fluid, which is backwards-compatible and will work just fine.
