Borgeson Update

Hadn't considered that.. the filter supposedly can handle a constant 200psi... i can't see the return being near that since it's just a open line into the pump pretty much.. but never know. So far no issues, will see what the future holds

You are correct. There's virtually no pressure in the return line. Look at the factory clamps.
Some vehicles come new with a plastic inline filter.

That would suck. I put in a new box from Lares and used their filter also. Nice metal case, the hose will pop off before it would burst.

I guess that someone could disconnect the return line and watch how much fluid comes out of the hose.
No matter what, if the fluid contacts the exhaust manifold or header I would not want to be around that.

At that point it's called a power steering fluid flush. Never a bad idea.

I've used ATF in the junker cars but THIS stuff in the red car with the Borgeson:

the one you posted the link for is labeled for use with transmissions and power steering. I think it should be ok.

The filter shown by Icetech is the same one I'm using too. Along with the cooler. The filter is specifically for either power steering, on the return side, or automatic transmission, also on the return side. Units have magnets in them too. Some of the oe's used these filters on trans applications when there were destructive issues. I remember Subaru using them in the early 90's on Legacy's. Factory service bulletin. My cooler is behind the grille so it gets better airflow. Also for those not knowing, p/s return hose is not the same as fuel hose. Different psi and fluid ratings.
