I bought a second hand 1995 Honda civic car and my friend told me that I can use an ATF to top-up the power steering fluid. Is it true?

there are different types of fluid but the main thing is what your manual says, most a.t.f and p.a.s fluids are the same but check the back of the bottle most brands contain dexron and if your manual tells you to use fluid containing dexron then you can use either a.t.f or p.a.s fluid

Do not use ATF.
This car requires genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid. The use of ATF will damage the system.
I have taken this information directly from a 1985 Honda Civic owners manual. You will be able to buy the fluid from Honda.

Yes, transmission fluid will work fine. They're both hydraulic fluid. Now in Diesel mechanics, some semis use 15w/40 for power steering fluid. Most of the time an owners manual will
tell you not to because they happen to have a special fluid
to sell you. But it is cheaper to use ATF.

Dodge if the fluid is low possibly it is oil , if the oil stick is or gets above the max line its okay to keep dipper in out wipe like so about 5 times or run the engine 5 mins max perform the same adhering to the specification and you will notice the change when you never drain or what a leak is with out a bolt I would look there first myself in one specification its a throttle body can replace the steel ring another is a specification for a hose fit to manifold look you will find a answer and most have to be stuffed to renew

There is different kinds of automatic transmission fluids. You must know which one to use before you put it in your car. There use to be only 2 different kinds, but now I don't know how many there are. I use to be an auto parts manager, but that was some time ago. Haven't kept up with things. Check with an auto parts store and they will be able to tell you which one to use on your particular car.

Hi, I actually work at Gary and Warren Smith Honda in Melbourne and you can do it but its not recommended.You should only do it if you have to. You're better off using the actual honda power steering oil
