Same goes for BA/ EF AU2. The fluid is clear and not red. You notice a definite change in pump sound when you use it over dextron. Turning the steering wheel when running dextron the pump has that definitive whining sound. When running mobilfluid 424 the pump is almost dead silent on the whine sound when turning the wheel.
Sorry to bring up an old thread but I've also just come across this same info on what type of fluid to use in the AU power steering unit, they say this Mobilfluid 424 is the way to go, anybody else heard anything similar or have some feedback ?.
