Default Use automotive fluid for hydraulic steering???

NO! Go to seastarsteering.com and search for the fluid spec. I think it has
a MIL spec. I if you can't find the spec, let me know and I can check it
from my bottle.

My 18' center console (1993 Robalo) uses a pretty standard Teleflex
Seastar single-engine hydraulic steering mechanism. I live a good
distance from any place that sells boat supplies, and was wondering -
can I use automotive power steering fluid in the Teleflex unit?

Thanks,
