Hi, im a bit confused to what type of oil im suppose to use for the power steering. I can hear some humming when i do a full lock and can feel a slight vibration on the S.wheel. I think it might need a top up. I didnt check the dipstick yet as it is dark outside and wont be able to read the mark.

The lid is black and it just say "ATF Oil only". So any idea what oil i should use?

TIA

ATF oil will be fine, see here http://www.c3bmw.co.uk/StockItem.as...roductID=1358&oRef=-1&section=2&Item=unassign

Ahhh... silly me. ATF = Automatic Transmition Fluid.

Thanks for that Ronnie.

Sorry, forgot to ask. What's the difference between the Dexrons II/III?
Which one should i be using or it doesn't matter?...

Only reason i ask is cause i went to halfords site (Castrol ATF) http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_241275_langId_-1_categoryId_165750

it says

Suitable for use in:

* 'Dexron' approved products i.e. Mercedes Benz, Voith, ZF etc.
* Not Suitable where Dexron IIE is required

Thanks
