guys,
i'm having trouble getting power steering fluid for my new steeroids,
just got hold of one place that said they may be able to get me STP power steering fluid,

any ideas, i have the stock pump,
thanks,
neil

Well, histerically speaking you know, I have used ATF a lot in various GM cars, never an issue, however I"m told to NOT do that in later GM cars....dunno why and it may still be an old wives tale, just not sure, so I hesitate to make any recommendations.....I use the PS fluid, as it' common as grass over here....even the smoking kind....

Just check the back of the bottle to make sure it meets manufacturer's specifications.

Are there no Chevy or GM dealers over there? I thought GM was trying to push Cadillacs and Corvettes into the Euro market...
