Slick 50 steering fluid help please.
 
Hi guys. Was wondering if any of you have used this stuff. The fluid in my constantly "sweaty" steering pot is barely on the dipstick so I'm wanting to top it up. I've seen this Slick 50 stuff but it has no DIII or ANY rating on it. Looks red so I don't think mineral.
Has any one had any experience with it? It's supposed to lubricate and stop leaks so is an additive rather than an actual replacement.
I need to top up and thought I'd try this but need your expertise before I make a blunder. :bowdown: :bowdown:

Many thanks for any input you may have.

Steve.

I personally would not use it, it may perk up a flagging system, PAS runs at too high a temp for pimp my leak fluid.

I think it works like most other oil sealent types buy swelling the rubber of any seals.If this is the case then it will do nothing to the Power Steering container as its plastic.

If its leaking why not just swap it for a replacement ?

Cheers guys. I value your input. I was thinking more on the lube side as my pump always sounds as though it's running dry.
Think I'll use normal stuff!
Much obliged.
Regards Steve.
