Power steering fluid
Hello. Is the power steering fluid something unique or can I use anything from parts store? I have a leak and I'm out of town (but closer to a Mini dealer) and it is Easter. So everything is closed except Wallyworld. Advanced auto can get whatever it is for the Mini by the 4th if I order today. Thanks. Brian.

Putting in "regular" ps fluid or tranny fluid will likly cause you a steering rack failure when the seals leak...
The correct ps fluid is sold by mini, most vw dealers and some bigger auto parts stores that do lots of forgien cars parts...brand name is petrosin...it is kinda special, a syenthic...and unless you have a leak, you should never have to add more....
