Can you elaborate on this? or show some type of documentation that a modern trans fluid rated for dex 3 use cant be used in a non trans item like power steering or transfer cases? Never seen that stated on any modern dex 3 compatible fluids or from manufacturers of vehicles. Just curious how one is supposed to know what can/cant be used in which vehicles.
I have had excellent results using maxlife & even supertechs modern dex 3 compatible/rated fluids in old power steering units as well as modern p/s with rack & pinion & transfer cases in 4x4 vehicles.
