Heavy Duty Power Steering Fluid: The Difference!

For the sake of understanding, the question of what servo oil is used for is answered in advance. News in Brief: The power steering is there to make it much easier to move around the steering wheel. As a rule, a power steering consists of four components: A hydraulic one Cylinder, Hydraulic pump them Hose system and a surge tank. Normally the hydraulic pump is driven by the engine with the help of a belt. As soon as it turns, pressure is built up and the servo system is ready. The hydraulic reservoir is flanged directly to the steering rack and as soon as the steering wheel is turned, the cylinder supports the steering in the appropriate direction.

It will mostly be save fixed intervals specified for changing. However, the rule of thumb is: every 80.0000 - 100.000 kilometers. Yes, now to the liquid. Servo fluid is not always the same. A distinction is usually made between "red"ATF and"green“(Pentosin) oil. These have different ingredients and different temperature ranges.

Why should I change the servo oil?

There are many reasons to change the servo oil, fresh oil protects all components of the power steering and accordingly increases their service life. It could also counteract loud noises from the hydraulic pump. It can also eliminate slight flutter or sluggishness. The hydraulic pump is troubled by particles in the oil flow, as the microparticles settle in the bearings and have a very abrasive effect.

High performance servo fluid vs. standard product

So it is clear that you should change the servo oil at some point. But which product do you choose? Just the cheapest? A question that you have to answer yourself. However, one should note that the change interval is very high. You can change the liquid once every 80.000 to 100.000.

We now know what advantages an oil change has, but what does high-performance oil bring us?

Es increased the lubrication and spares the rubber seals, as well reduced it the wear and tear of the hydraulic pump. A good oil can also prevent the servo fluid from "boiling over". And the high-performance oil can be used in almost every vehicle. It has a better one Viscosity, which helps to avoid or even remedy a loss of power when turning the steering. Conventional oil does that too, of course, but not to such an extent. It is also important to always use the correct oil, as the wrong oil can decompose the hoses from the inside and cause serious damage. The pump cannot work with the wrong oil either. A problem you can deal with High performance oil usually does not have.

Good oils meet the requirements of most car manufacturers and can be used in vehicles such as Ford Type-F, Mercon, or M2C138-CJ and in the manufacturers Ford, AMC, Toyota, Nissan, Lexus, Infiniti, Jaguar, VW, Mercedes, BMW, SAAB, Subaru, Volvo, Porsche, Mitsubishi, Mazda, and many more can be used. Such a liquid also mostly meets the requirements of GM PN 1050017 or 1052884 (9985010), Chrysler 5931, Ford M2C33-F as well as Denison HF-O, Vickers vane pumps, and Sundstrand piston pumps.
