[V8] Leaking Steering Rack - Switch to Mobil1 Synthetic ATF?

[David M]

Thanks Gents - makes me feel much better.  I'll be giving it a go.  Quick
question on the flush and turning the steering wheel from lock to lock
position.  Would you start and stop the engine or just do it w/o the engine
running at all?  Thanks.
