What PS fluid for Borgeson

[Ethan]

What fluid have you guys been running in your borgeson steering gearbox?

 

[Jerry Hall]

I don't know about the bergeson, but on my 66 Satellite with a 6.1 Hemi I am using the ATF+4 as recommended for the Gen III engine PS pump. There is no problems or leaks on the 66 stock steering sector.

 

[Jerry Hall]

Remember what makes the PS pump happy should be compatible with the sector.

Got the complete kit from borgeson with the gm style pump , of course they never said what to use for fluid so I used power streering fluid from NAPA , No problems so far.

Gentlemen,
My opinion....use a good HYDRAULIC OIL, of the owner's choice, such as ISOVIS (International Standards Organizations Viscosity Index) #46 which is similar to SAE 15 wt lube oil. Hydraulic oil is best suited for vane pump service.....antifoam, antiwear, extreme pressure characteristics and anti-scuffing additives. What does the steering box builder recommend? Just my opinion....I'm sure the people using ATF will disagree.

I thought 65roadracer may have a recommendation he has had a bit of experience with borgeson

This is what they told me for mine.


We recommend standard GM power steering fluid
