Robert Street Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Is the Accel type A ATF the same as the old type A power steering fluid. My 61 Impala doesn't like the new thinner power steering fluids. Actually the iron cased HD power glide transmission doesn't like the new ATF fluids either. Fortunately the 62 is manual steering and 4 speed so isn't a "leaker" Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Commodore Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 According to Amazon.com, Accel Type A can be used in older cars and trucks where DEXRON, DEXRONII, MERCON, or Type F Fluids are not required. Accel is made by Warren Distribution. You could ask them about it.http://www.wd-wpp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan at larescorp Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 You can use any ATF or modern power steering fluid. The only reason you would not want to use modern power steering fluid is if you're concerned that the unit might leak. Otherwise, what type of ATF you use is not of great importance. The system won't up and stop working if you use a different type then recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
