A good friend of mine has used regular automotive power steering fluid
in his Teleflex Seastar-I unit for at least 10 years, with absolutely
no problem whatsoever. What exactly is suppose to happen when you use
this "wrong" stuff? Just curious...

the higher viscosity of automotive steering or ATF makes the steering
stiffer than it should be.

Is that all? Well, I can dock my friend's boat with my little finger.
Is this is the only difference? Does it actually HURT anything?
