Power Steering Fluid for 2003 Liberty
Hi,
I went to a dealer today to pickup a bottle of power steering fluid for my 2003 Liberty. I was told from the part department that my jeep uses the same fluid for both Automatic Transmission and Power Steering, so I ended up with a bottle Mopar ATF+4. I check the owner manual when I got home and notice the recommended fluid for Power Steering Reservoir is "Mopar Power Steering Fluid (MS-5931)". What's up with that? Did the guy get it wrong or the fluids are actually interchangeable? Thanks Ron |
