Power Steering Fluid in the ZO6
Is the Power Steering Fluid in the 2002 ZO6, regular Gm Power Steering Fluid or Synthetic Power Steering Fluid? Thanks for anyone help.

My power steering fluid warning light came on after about 15 minutes of hard driving, then I lost power steering momentarily. I pulled over for a few minutes and everything went back to normal. Had Chevy dealer look at it, couldn't find anything wrong. Happened again a week later under the same circumstances, had another chevy dealer look at the car, again couldn't find anything wrong with the power steering. Very frustrating - I think its an overheating issue - should I have them switch to synthetic power steering fluid? Both days outside temperature only 75. Also had engine power severely cut back on another occasion, but from what I've read, this is to be expected - again this happened after 15 minutes of hard driving on a 70 degree day. Any suggestions?

Get dealer to repair it under warranty.
