Dexron type for PS
Hey all, I just replaced my power steering o ring and I just realized that the subaru manual says to use dexron 2 atf but I used dexron 3. Am I going to damage my PS pump? Should I siphon it out before its too late and replace it back with dexron 2?

PS fluid
Subaru actually sells their own ps fluid. Its not that much more that ATF and I was told once that it'll make everything last longer in there (I'm sure its not 100% true but....)... Otherwise Dex 3 is just a newer version of 2 and will do the job fine. I actually think that its formulated for higher temps then 2 (kinda like brake flut DOT #s.
