E39’s use ATF as their power steering fluid. Any decent ATF should work, I use Valvoline Max Life for my E39.
Pros: decent ATF works
Vehicle:
BMW
I put in Valvaline power steering fluid in the system this weekend, because I have a small leak and nobody carried the OEM stuff on Sunday. Could this be my issue? Do you think the viscosity is causing my power steering pump to make the noise.
Cons: pump makes noise
Vehicle:
Audi TT
