Default A couple of Quick Questions to the Pro's here...

I just added a P/S cooler and now need to refill the system but I was wondering two things...
1. What are you guys using for P/S fluid?
2. Anyone use the Lucas Power steering fluid?

Here is a pic of where I added my coolers..

GM makes a "cold weather" p/s fluid, but it's actually just a full synthetic fluid...works great!!!!!

Why not put the coolers in front of the A/C condensor?

I know a lot of guys that also use the Valvoline synthetic. Personally, I use it but I've used regular off brand stuff for years with no issues. I don't think it's as big a deal as oil and trans fluid, as long as you have adequate cooling.

BTW, what kind of radiators are those? I have one that i bought years ago for my EOC and can't remember the brand or where I got it...it works very well.
