    Please confirm what this is

    Hi guys
    Just had a nosy round the truck today and notice this oil reservoir looking rather empty. I'm assuming this is for the power steering but just want to check. Can you please also advise on the type of oil required. Does it need to be a specialized power steering oil or like your standard dot 4 oil?

    Thanks in advance

    Brett

    Yes it is your Power Steering fluid reservoir, you can use any quality Automatic transmission fluid, but may i suggest you add some of this.........LUCAS

    Its a great product (even if you dont have leaks)
