Power Steering Fluid
Yeah what type will work well? I need to get some in the next couple minutes so I cannot get the GM stuff. Any suggestions?

Yes synpower is good, especially if you have a power steering cooler (Z51, Z06 etc)

I planned on flushing my 01 PS out this week sometime and I purchased Prestone PS fluild (32 oz - since it said that what it would take to the then entire system) but its regular PS fluid for GM vehicles. I wonder if I should take it back to Wally World and look for the synthetic? I don’t race and only drive her on the nice weekends.

So do we think regular Prestone PS fluid is fine as long as it says for GM cars? (2001 z51 - non racer - weekend ride only).
