Default Use automotive fluid for hydraulic steering???

Don't use power steering fluid or auto transmission fluid in your Teleflex
steering unless it is an emergency. They tell you that in the installation
manual and on their website.

If you can't find the light hydraulic fluid that the steering uses, go to
your local airport repair facility and buy or scrounge the TO 15 hydraulic
fluid that is used in small planes. That is the same stuff as the factory
oil but is dyed red.

I found this thread from another forum. Apparently there are quite a few
substitutes for that fluid.
