Thanks, Daniel... funny thing is, TBA Syndrome prompted my post in the
first place. Oh, TBA = Typical Bentley Ambiguity syndrome. Because on
page 48.1 under "Quick Data" it states:

   Power Steering

   Type                   Hydraulic fluid,
                 Part No. G 002 000 or
        ATF DEXRON or DEXRON II

which implies interchangablility (except for auto transmissions as a note
indicates just below the note I quoted).

Anyway, ATF it is, and it's what I put in yesterday.    -Doug Q
