Power Steering fluid for 2022 R6

Post by Doddfather »

After spending several hours trying to use online Cobalt manuals to determine what type of power steering fluid to use in my 2022 R6, I’ve given up. Can anyone guide me on what to use ? A service person at a dealer suggested SAE 0W30 Mercury Marine Power Steering fluid. Is this correct ?

If it is clear or amber then just PS fluid from the auto parts store or Volvo Penta sells a PS and trim fluid. The Quicksilver / Mercury PS fluid would also be fine. These are simple hydraulic systems and do not require anything special. If it is pink/red then it’s ATF, but that is unlikely.
