[Solved] LubeGard Complete Synthetic Power Steering Fluid

Hey Scotty,

I watched your video about LubeGard Complete Synthetic Power Steering Fluid and thought I'd get some in the Multi-Vehicle Formula like you used in that video.  I would have bought it from your Amazon store, but all you had was Honda and Toyota Formula.  Speaking of your Amazon store, I'd like to suggest that you start putting that link in your YT videos' Description again.  I've had to search Amazon for Scotty Kilmer to find it for a while.  I bought the VIAIR 84P Portable Compressor and some Meguiar's stuff from you.  I watch all 3 of your videos daily, and always click Like on every one.

I went to an O'Reilly Auto Parts to get it and they told my 1995 Mercury Cougar has Transmission Fluid in it and the LubeGard would not be compatible, but this was a self-admitted "Chevy guy."  I asked about a partial dose in all new Transmission Fluid and he couldn't say for sure.

My Owner's Guide says Ford Spec ESW-M2C33-F, such as Ford Premium Power Steering Fluid E6AZ-19582-AA on the last page and on the Lubricant Specs page it says XT-QF Motocraft Automatic Transmission Fluid - Type F, ESW-M2C33-F.

I had stopped by the Ford Dealership Parts Dept to ask how to do a complete steering fluid change and was told, "We don't work on anything that old here" and he couldn't tell me how.  I asked if the LubeGard would be compatible and he told me to talk to my mechanic.  So I'm asking what you think.

I watched a video that showed how to nearly fully drain the power steering fluid by sucking it out like you did (he used a turkey baster) and then move the clamp on the Low side hose underneath out of the way, pull the "up" side of the hose and drain both sides into a pan.  I'd buy the proper transmission fluid to replace it, but I'm wondering if you thing this LubeGard would be OK at 100%, or if not, at about what percentage, or should I not mess with it all?

O'Reilly Auto Parts had a LubeGard "Compatibility" Chart online that said it is compatible, but it didn't say at what percentage.  Please let me know your thoughts in my case:  All, some, or none.  If some, about what percentage?

Thanks,

Craig (logged into YouTube as 100%VG)

They put automatic transmission fluid type power steering fluid in those cuz it's cheaper to build them that way. But the lube guard is actually a better fluid realize power steering pumps are just hydraulic pumps and anything to use has to be a pretty much non-compressible lightweight fluid and there's many things you can actually put in those


Thank you, sir!
