Default Power steering oil
What am I suppose to use in my power steering for oil.....my operator manual is a bit vague on this. My truck is a 1997 International 9200 with Cummins engine and Eaton Fuller 10 speed.

the truck would originally have come with fleetrite power steering fluid. it is amber in color. quite often they were changed out to a 10w30 engine oil.

the important question is this; what color is the fluid now???
