<P>I believe Type F would be wrong. </P>
<P>I believe Type II and Type III are intermixable and you could use either. </P>
<P>I believe since Type III is a later edition than Type II, that Type III would then be better</P>
<P>I believe that at a lot of FLAPS you'll only find Type III and won't be able to find Type II</P>
<P>I use Redline D4 in my power steering fluid, and it corresponds to Type IV (four) and it works great. I absolutely love it in my power steering. Before I was using a bottle clearly labeled Power Steering Fluid. For some reason it no longer leaks, which leaves me puzzled sometimes, because I keep expecting it to leak. I shine a flashlight into the open resevoir to make sure I'm seeing things correctly. </P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Stupid question time! In my '87 Westy's manual, it specifies ATF Dexron as the
<DIV></DIV>&gt;power steering fluid. When I went to my FLAPS looking to get some, I found Type
<DIV></DIV>&gt;II, Type III, and Type F. Which is appropriate for my van?
