C2 PS fluid

[Ralph E.]

Just finishing up with adding power steering to my 1967 SB. Now it is time to add PS fluid. When I checked old post it was suggest to use GM 12345867($16/qt). The local Chevy Dealer suggested GM 89021184 ($4/qt). My AIM indicates 9985039 or 9985010. Which should I use?
Also what is the capacity of PS fluid?

Ralph -

#89020661 is the P/N for the GM Power Steering Fluid (quart bottle) I bought a year or so ago. The system holds just over a quart - just enough so you need to buy two bottles.

Thanks John,
You being a Michigan boy would you use the cold climate PS fluid GM 12345867 or the regular stuff GM 89020661?

Re: C2 PS fluid

I use the regular stuff - don't drive it in the winter.

I use the auto zone stuff and I do drive it in the winter. Work just fine!

I've always used regular ATF to top off a PS pump, thought that's what it said on the cap.

If it says '710', you're holding it upside down.
