GM power steering fluid

Manual calls for GM 89021184. Had a minor leak at a fitting, now fixed. Have to add about 4 or 6 ounces to bring it to the line. Any problem using a generic rather than the GM? TIA

Just dont use ATF, as used to be the 'standard'.

for GM's, the last year ATF was the 'standard' for power steering was

1968. '69 on up use regular power steering fluid.

Point was, some people still believe that ATF is an acceptable fluid. I guess the conception that power steering fluid is just another way to get a little more money from the buyer... It isn't.. Use ATF and you're looking for trouble.
