Yepp thats about it...I was working on my car with a friend, and had both motor oil and steering fluid out, I asked him to top it off and he added 20w50 motor oil (at least its amsoil synthetic ) he noticed quick and probably only added 100ml or 200ml absolute tops...So anyones, I know mine says to use dextron automatic transmission fluid as the steering fluid...what has been done to my car? What will happen? What should I do? I don't know much about the power steering...like where the drain is, assuming there is one. I am thinking about siphoning as much as I can out the resevoir...but perhaps heavy motor oil might stay at the bottom of the system. So please...I'm accepting any and all suggestions...
Thanks much!

Thanks josh...I'll give that a shot...I can't believe this happened, I try so hard to be careful with my car and take care of it...just goes to show, do everything yourself if you want it done right. Does anyone have any suggestions as to power steering fluid? The cap on my resevoir says to use ATF, dextron I believe...but then I got to thinking...my car has a JDM EJ20G...and some of my filler caps and such are ghetto rigged...maybe the person who installed it didn't have a cap, and just got another one that would fit...hmm. So what do people think about power steering fluid?
thanks...oh yeah, I don't have a manual, does anyone know what the fluid capacity of the PS system is?
thanks
