Default Power Steering Fluid

The owner manual for my 03Z specifies PS fluid 1052884. According to my dealer, this has been superseded to 19329450. The dealer stocks it, which suggests that they use it when prescribed. It is also available on Amazon, of course.

Redline recommends their power steering fluid.

What are you folks using?

Thanks.

Redline because whatever I had in there before (Dex3? ) boiled over at the last track event and made a horrible mess

I use Amsoil in my track '03 Z06. I change it once a year. Good stuff! 👍

Not long - maybe 200 miles. Hopefully that'll change soon

I've been using Red Line full synthetic power steering fluid since 2010, 26 road course track days so far. I syringe out the power steering fluid from the reservoir and replace with Red Line at every engine oil change which is changed annually. My 2001 had 74,000 miles on it in 2009, 120,000 miles on it now.

Red Line and other full synthetic oils/fluids resist oxidation at high temperature much better than petroleum based oils/ fluids.
