Last night I was at one of the monthly Amsoil meetings I attend and there was some mention of the Power Steering Fluid Amsoil released and that we should pass word on to those accounts this may benefit. While initially thinking this product as being a good addition for us to sell to now round out having nearly every fluid product available for the automobile, this product is being noticed more by Retail and Commercial Accounts that have to have several Power Steering Fluids in stock to meet the various specs different manufacturers require. The Amsoil fluid meets all the specs! This may not be as hot of a seller as the Amsoil P.i. Fuel Additive has become, but it should make your business a little easier by knowing you now only need to keep track of one inventory product. It is also synthetic, and we have noticed some customers asking for a synthetic power steering fluid.
Here is the information, if you haven’t looked at it yet, taken from the Amsoil Web Site:
AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Power Steering Fluid provides excellent wear protection. Its synthetic formulation delivers better lubricity and reduced friction, resulting in cooler operating temperatures, longer component life and quieter operation. AMSOIL Power Steering Fluid is formulated with a high viscosity index. Its low pour point ensures immediate lubrication at startup and in cold temperatures, yet it resists thermal breakdown and maintains maximum protection in high temperatures.
Why Change Power Steering Fluid
Power steering fluid is one of the most neglected fluids under the hood because most people don’t think about it unless there is a problem. Consumers realize that power steering systems require additional fluid occasionally, but do not realize that power steering fluid should be changed at regular intervals. Many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) recommend changing power steering fluid due to the accumulation of wear material and other debris within the power steering system. For example, Dodge recommends changing the power steering fluid in its 2005-2008 Magnum and Charger models every 60,000 miles. In addition, power steering fluid has a service life, just like any other lubricating fluid. It is subject to temperature extremes and must combat contaminants while simultaneously fulfilling its role as a hydraulic fluid.
