LUBEGARD(R) COMPLETETM POWER STEERING FLUID is a hydraulic fluid that is intermittently pressurized by a high shear, high friction pump and is used in a high shear turbine motor to aid in turning a car's steering wheel. Since the fluid is subjected to hard, long term use, without regular changing intervals, it is critically important to provide extra anti-wear, anti-friction, and anti-corrosion components, as well as oxidation stability and a high flash point for fire protection. Power steering fluid is not interchangeable with automatic transmission fluid (ATF) because ATF does not have the anti-wear protection or shear stability needed to protect the power steering pump. LUBEGARD(R) POWER STEERING FLUID is specifically formulated for power steering systems and is useful in hot and cold weather environments. Top quality base oils plus a full complement of performance additives provide excellent viscosity characteristics, shear stability, rust and corrosion protection, seal integrity, and detergency; while the patented LXE(R) (liquid wax ester) derivatives provide the extra friction and wear protection, oxidation stability, and heat rejection. The flash point of LUBEGARD(R) is equal to that of motor oils (above 475degF) and higher than that of ATF fluids.
