My Power Steering Fluid was finished. I have wrongly used Automatic Transmission Fluid instead of Power Steering Fluid. Will this be a problem? Do I need to change?

Read the "label" on the reservoir cap. Kep __________________ Often, it's the loose screw between the steering wheel and the driver's seat that needs to be fixed first!

But ATF and PSF looks like same. If the fuil does not match, do I need to change? Will there be any problem? __________________ Regards, My car: Camry 1989 V6 Auto

Is that what you did? Kep __________________ Often, it's the loose screw between the steering wheel and the driver's seat that needs to be fixed first! Stock 1995 Camry, 5SFE, Sedan.
