servo oil

[Ares]

Just a quick question guys.
I have noticed that my servo oil is under minimum level,on the cap is written ATF DEXRON II.
Do i need to replace the oil (drain it completely) or i can simply buy an liter of it and fill whats missing.
The oil is ATF DEXRON 2,that is its name right?

Yes, just top it up. ATF (automatic transmission fluid) Dexron II sounds about right. I managed to get a bottle of it here...

I've read that the pumps can leak at the shaft seals but on my D8 the jubilee clip (šelna) where the feed pipe is connected to the reservoir was too loose so I had to cut it off and fit a smaller one.

Thanx Steve,good info about jubilee clip or šelna i will check that also.

Dex II is not readily available and Dex III is the replacement.

Read elsewhere that it needs to be red to be fully compatible with Dex II. Had a leak in my power steering, Dex III actually seemed to stop the leak.

So i can mix dex2 and dex3 as long as the 3 is red color

I did, cured my leak

I ran that for around 6 months, but cannot advise on longer term effects due to the unfortunate water incident

Thanx for the info V6Exec,i didnt knew that.
I bought yesterday dex2 and put it inside,so we shall see what is going to happen,if it goes again under minimum ill try mix dex 3.
