should be, its just generic asian vehicle specific power steering fluid so im sure itll do just fine, its been eating it up though fluid turns black after a day, so a full flush is definitely needed, but as long as multi vehicle is okay in the system

​​​​​​if you are looking for high temp fluid for the power steering checkout Redline D4/D6, its popular with all the track rats.
also, do you know the size hose the return is? is it 3/8ths? cause im gonna get a hose fitting to plug into that return line, and jerry rig the tube going out the car.

also will need to make a plug for the container too, so if 3/8th is the size then ill make it work

Yup any ATF meeting Dex standards will work. The cap even says that as well.

"USE DEXRON TYPE ATF FILL TO PROPER LEVEL"

so i couldnt get the double band clamp off, so I gave up, i mean that joint was stuck, also the resouvier has a dent in it where the return hose goes, and the line itself is pretty stiff, so im just gonna stick with my drain and fills till the fluid is cherry red and not dark. I think I'm almost done though, as i've gone through probably 2ish+ quarts of fluid via drain and fill, bled the system, it is starting to feel better, unfortunately all the supplies i bought n stuff I just ended up not using :S
