Cherokee PAS Fluid
Discussion
Morning folks,
I've asked this on the Opie thread but since you folk on here are a friendly bunch (most of the time
) I thought i'd as here too.
My '96 Cherokee states Mopar Power Steering fluid. I've read up not to use Auto Transmission fluid but does anyone know what 'normal' PAS fluid I can use? The local spares agent computer says 'refer to manual' and the manual just says Mopar.
cheers gang,
Nik

I asked the same question of 2 or 3 Jeep specialists when I needed some for my 1998 Cherokee and all said it was a special Mopar fluid. IIRC it was about £12 a litre 
. Worth checking ebay, I sold my unused stuff cheap there. Or asking on Birty Dastards to see if anyones got some spare/cheap.
IIRC alternatives can be used if you drain and flush the system of the jeep stuff in there, its not compatible with most AM fluids readily available.

Cheers, I've had a nose on Birty Dastards and there are a few different ideas. I've gone with some dedicated PAS fluid (Non AT) and given it a wee top up. We'll see if it was a bad move in about 12 months . Worth checking ebay, I sold my unused stuff cheap there.
