It's a 2013 Ecoboost and it's running great so far. I couldn't find it anywhere else on the forum but which power steering fluid is correct?
I bought LDAS but it's green. While the steering fluid in there right now is red. Ford specifies M2C204-A in my manual but it doesn't seem to be correct. Anyone know whats going on and which fluid I should be using instead? Sent from my XT1580 using Tapatalk |

Welcome to the site mate, someone has put the wrong fluid in!!!
Here are some links for you; https://fordforums.com.au/showthread...t=penrite+ldas https://fordforums.com.au/showthread...t=penrite+ldas Power Steering Fluid needs to be topped up with Ford Spec WSS-M2C204-A / Pentosin CHF 11S as per owners manual.

1 Red fluid is OK
2 Red fluid is not OK 3 Red fluid is OK if the fluid is OK 4 Green fluid is OK 5 Green fluid is not OK 6 Green fluid is OK if the fluid is OK You can't decide unless you know the fluid is OK, red or green. Maybe all OK fluids are green? Not all green fluids are OK etc Suggest you try to find out what fluid was used. My 2011s always had green fluid. Penrite LDAS, so green fluid is OK for that year model, given steering is fine. Last edited by rondeo; 28-07-2017 at 04:48 PM. |

What is the recommended interval for PS fluid? I've never given it a thought.
I used to regularly change it on my VP Commodore but that was only because I had to put a kit through the pump every 30,000km or so..... :-)
