my sisters 86 325 E30 has been making alot of noise when she turns...i havent had a chance to drive it yet to hear the noise first hand, but my dad said he checked and the power steering is low on fluid...will low P/S fluid level cause this? and what kind of P/S fluid should i fill it with...

Dexron II or Dexron III atf.

It's unlikely you'd find anyone selling anything less than Dexron III these days.Originally posted by lordofthewaters

You are absolutely right, but that's what was in mine originally, so I thought I'd have Dex II in there too.Originally posted by arsevader

my sister just bought some valvoline SynPower P/S fluid...it doesnt specify if it is Dexron II or higher and it doesnt say if its compatible with non-synthetic P/S fluid...will it be safe for me to add this into her P/S system even though i think she has non-synthetic fluid in there?Comment

It doesn't say Dexron because it's not ATF!Originally posted by Group A
Don't put this anywhere near an E30 steering system. The system isn't designed for 'Power Steering Fluid' (as very few systems are). Just go buy some plain old ATF and you'll be fine.Comment

thats the "regular" power steering fluid, my jeep took that stuff.Comment
