I bought LDAS recently, the green stuff. My present stuff is quite clearish and light brown. If it were ATF fluid then it would be dark brown and thick coloured. So, I reckon mine is the green which is really bright coloured new, that has deteriroated lots.
I want to flush it soon but don't know how to turn off the engine start so I can crank but not fire the engine. Now that it is the weekend I might ask about that.
Also need to confirm it's take off the return hose to flush. That must be the top one on the fluid reservoir? Then crank and pump out fluid. What I want to know is can I just use a container and hold it there to catch the fluid, people talk about using different kinds of hoses and putting into little specially prepared containers which I think is overdoing it. Then turn the steering to bleed. If that is correct then I really want to do mine. The fluid has been bought for a week waiting.
So,
Do not use ATF if yours is the light almost see through colour fluid. I read that ATF will rot the parts over time. Check fluid with a cotton bud or drops against white paper.
