Hi All: Is there any difference between Duraplus Volvo Tilt/Trim and Steering Fluid and the another fluid also by Volvo Penta called Volvo Trim and Steering Fluid? I topped up my tilt reservoir with the latter. However, I noticed, the fluid in the reservoir was a reddish color and the stuff I added was more of a gold color. If so, should I somehow extract the fluid I added from the reservoir or just leave it. I haven't raised or lowered my engine since adding the fluid. Thanks, Mike Vista 288 2004, 5.0 l GXi SX |

My Volvo manual calls for VP part #3851039 for both trim and power steering. It's the red stuff. I'm relatively sure it's just GM power steering fluid, but that's the number anyway. |

Thanks Mike--I think you are right-sales rep sold me the wrong stuff. Not sure what to do about it. I can probably suction it out and replace with the red stuff--haven't moved the drive since I added the fluid. |

Yeah, since I don't know what the other stuff is I can't even guess as to it's compatibility with the right fluid. If you think it's possible to get all of it out I think I'd do it. But - I would also make sure the dealer who sold you that puts a note in your file about this so that if you have trim pump or hose problems later on, you might have a case. If they were conscientious they would flush the system and refill at their expense, but you know how that is. There's also the possibility that the other stuff isn't even a problem. |

For peace of mind, suck it out with a Moeller motor oil pump. This is what I use to suck out hydraulic fluids, power steering, trim, ect... in the boat and at times the car, jeep, truck. Handy device to have. Heres a link to a moeller fluid extractor http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/268534/377%20710/0/moeller/Primary%20Search/mode%20matchallpartial/0/0?N=377%20710&Ne=0&Ntt=moeller&Ntk=Primary%20Search&Ntx=mode%20matchallpartial&Nao=0&Ns=0&keyword=moeller&isLTokenURL=true&storeNum=6&subdeptNum=169&classNum=170 But, Hydraulic fluid is hydraulic fluid, may be different color for different manufacture???? |
