I purchased some power steering fluid (Royal Purple Max EZ) to refill a low level reservoir. Since this is a synthetic product, does anyone know if it is compatible with the stock fluid? Please advise.
Power steering re-fill

Mustangs use ATF . Particularly mercon V.
Ive always used the bottle that says power steering fluid and not trans fluid but I could be wrong.
The manual does call for this particularly. If anyone else uses anything else that's something that hey do but Sagittaria is right
You picked what I picked.
Though any Mercon/DexronIII ATF will work as well, including RP Max ATF.
Max EZ is my favorite because of it including Synerlec, which means it will protect the pump and rack better than any other available power steering fluid.
The will be no compatibility issue with any previous fluids. Synth and non synth fluids are still hydrocarbon based oils. Max EZ is made to be able to mix with the previous fluid.
Thank you everybody for the feedback...peace.
So Max EZ is the best to get as far as fluid to put in for power steering? I'm needing to refill mine and have no clue about this stuff and find it odd transmission fluid is being used for the power steering.
I just want to get a fluid that is best for my 03 Cobra and won't mess anything up.
Sorry for bumping an old thread but I figured it is better than starting a new one.
"power steering fluid" is really only used on older model stuff anymore almost all manufactures have went to using a version of ATF fluid dexIII or MERC V are the most used SP3 is pry next.
its used for its high detergent qualitys.

When you switch it out there are a couple of ways to do it.
You can pull off the return line and let the pump exchange the fluid.
Or you can suck as much old fluid out of the reservoir as possible, fill it with new fluid, suck it out again, fill it again and so on until the tiny bit of old fluid is negligible.
