Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / December 2008Power Steering Fluid
Power steering fluid on one of my 07 Sante Fe's is a little low. Checked the owner's manual and only thing I can find is that it takes PSF-4 type fluid. Went to Auto Zone today and none of the power steering fluid bottles have any numbers on them. Only thing I see is a consistent "Not recommended for Honda vehicles". I'm assuming that the fluid they have is OK for my Hyundai, but need some reassurance that I am putting in the right stuff. Replys are appreciated. Thanks, Jim PS How does the fluid disappear anyway? Have never had to add fluid to any of my vehicles over the past 40 years. > Power steering fluid on one of my 07 Sante Fe's is a little low.

I have yet to find any market brand that is equivalent. Hyundai only recommends their fluid (as you would know) for their power steering and transmission (Diamond SPF-3). If I was in your shoes, I would wait until Monday and get some fluid from the local dealerships. For more info on your Hyundai product, could I suggest www.hyundai-forums.com and www.hmaservice.com The first one is info based on worldwide owners, the second one is more of the technical form provided by Hyundai America. Both offers free account. TheIceAge05 Most power steering fluid is rather generic. My opinion is that PSF-4 i simply Hyundai's designation for something you can get elsewhere. Yo should be okay to add regular power steering fluid to this car. (Olde Hyundai products use Dexron.) As far as the level issue, take it in and report that you had to ad fluid. I've seen several steering racks on newer vehicles leaking flui into the rack boots - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm |
