Default Relative Viscosity of GM Cold Climate P/S Fluid

Is GM Cold Climate Power Steering Fluid more or less viscous than other
semi or fully synthetic P/S fluids

Which P/S fluids have low viscosity and anti-foaming characteristics?

Thanks,
Ken R.

I'm not sure of the viscosity, but I believe that the GM (cold climate) fluid is full synthetic. It has better characteristics than the conventional stuff. I started using it full time last year - good stuff.

Unless there is more than one version, the label for ACDelco Cold
Climate fluid (#10953471) describes the contents as a partially
synthetic base.



I recently switched to complete a system flush after finding I was
unable to readily locate BG Universal Synthetic Power Steering Fluid
#334, which I'd been using successfully since flushing in '03.

Having noticed the favorable comments about CCF here, I thought I'd
give it a try. Now I am curious about whether CCF is more viscous
than the BG fluid.

Yeah, that's the same stuff. It is partially synthetic, but works really well. I've had no issues with it at all.
