Power Steering Fluid in C6??
I have a 2005 C6 and I was wondering if you could use Pennzoil Power Steering Fluid in it. It was the only thing available at the local store and I need to fill it up. The reservoir is somewhat low! Thanks.

Whatever you do, do NOT use the Valvoline "synthetic" PS fluid. I tried it in my C6 and had major issues to the point where the car was undriveable.

what i do is use my old turkey baster to extract fluid out, and refill with new
i do this every year in my other cars to keep some fresh fluid in the system
there's alot of heat going on in cars now-a-days so keeps everything nice and clean
same goes for the brake master cyl

Once again....if the auto parts store PS fluid advertises that it has anti-leak additives.......run (in my opinion).
