[V8] Power Steering Fluid Source?

[Dave Saad]

Wow.
I thought I paid about $35 for my Chevron RYKON 32 5-gallon bucket.
That is the other oil - and I have been using it for several years now. Only consideration is maybe go with RYKON 16 if you spend a lot of time in REALLY cold weather.

And - at these prices, maybe it just makes cents to fix the problem?
