Power Steering Fluid
What is anyone else using to top off their power steering?
Ofcourse the GM SM says to use PS Fluid, but it's got to be compatible with Dextron II-III transmission fluid, right?
I can't see buying another bottle of anything else to occupy a spot on my garage shelf needlessly.

I use Valvoline Synpower PS Fluid and personally would not mix Dextron with it. If it is low enough to need some added maybe you should suck the old stuff out and replace it with new anyway.

I use the same cheap AutoZone brand crap for all 3 of my PS, Clutch and Brake fluids. 130K miles without a single issue due to fluid type.

I've used the Valvoline Synpower synthetic blend PS fluid in my C4 for the last 3 years.
