Has anyone changed there power steering fluid in there 2005 Vibe.The owner's manual calls for Dexron III automatic transmission fluid, which is red. The original color I believe was clear. Anybody know what the correct fluid is?

a Dexron III approved ATF is the correct fluid to use.I use royal purple MAX ATF in mine.

I use Amsoil ATF. I use a turkey baster to remove old fluid. I do this every 15k miles or so.

Do you remember if the original color was clear or red?

Mine is clear on a 2006, I have also wondered what to put in since factory antifreeze is also different from what the manual says to use.
