Is Power Steering Fluid the Same as Transmission Fluid?
1 Answers
Power steering fluid and transmission fluid are not the same. Transmission fluid can be used as power steering fluid in cars, but power steering fluid cannot be used as transmission fluid. The main component of transmission fluid is lubricating oil, and the additives used in transmission fluid and power steering fluid are different. Transmission fluid and power steering fluid are absolutely not interchangeable. The main function of transmission fluid is to keep the gear system clean, lubricate the car's transmission device, and extend its service life. Power steering fluid is mainly used to increase driving comfort, automatically providing steering force when the driver is operating the vehicle, making the driving process easier and reducing steering fatigue for the driver.
