Personally, I wasn't too impressed with Purple Ice or their Power Steering fluid. I actually cooked the fluid and had to change it out of my steering system. Next time around I'm planning to go with the tractor steering fluid from Amsoil. A lot of racers have switched from RP for steering to the Amsoil. Seems to hold up better for full hydro apps.....can't say anything about stock applications.

As far as sourcing it.....a lot of local Napas seem to carry RP stuff. If that won't work for you....you can try somewhere like Summit Racing - High Performance Car and Truck Parts | 800-230-3030 or JEGS High Performance - Your source for Edelbrock MSD Holley Mr. Gasket Moroso
I ended up getting a case of the steering fluid for super cheap off one of the above online places (compared to finding it locally).

As for changing the fluid. Fairly straight forward process. Manual Trans, tcase and rear diff have a simple drain plug/fill plugs.

HTH,

If I take the needed lube to the dealer (yes there are other reasons to have lube when working with the dealer but I am talking engine and or gear oils) will they use the stuff. I know it shouldn't be that hard to change the oil but the gear stuff i really don't want to mess with and I am busy 6 days a week so I must spend time with the fam so the dealer is quicker and less agrivating for me.

I don't know how much I'd trust that.....

You have to remember, they are pumping gear oil out of big 55 gallon (sometimes 20 gallon) containers. They are very unlikely to fill another container with your RP and then pump it into your diff/trans/tcase b/c it's going to take more time to dump their fluid and put in yours....and then there's cross "contamination" of different brands....not that it would matter....they will mix with no issues.

I dunno, I'm just skeptical of dealerships in general.

Good luck with it. If you really trust your's, then go for it. There are good dealers out there, they just never seem to coincide with me when I need service.
