Power steering fluid boil?

Mt Tam I am · 07-01-2014, 12:11 PM

This happened to me yesterday for the first time. It was over 90 degrees in the shade and I lost about two teaspoons full. Just enough to make a mess.

Sears Point.

It was well above the max hot line. This morning below the line.

the z1 ps cooler and redline D6 did the trick for me. Was at the same track I had boiled over on the first time but, 15 to 20 deg hotter 90's. No problems at all.

Mine boils just about every track day out here in CA. I don't change it every time as I have not noticed much effect from the boiling. However, I do change it probably 4 times a year. I can't tell that boiling the PS fluid really means much, but I change it frequently just cuz.

ditto. i have an upgraded PS cooler and do a dirty change after every track day (suck up the old fluid with a turkey baster, replace with fresh redline d6). cheap insurance
