Changing out a PS reservoir on a 3 line system with a vickers pump (prob a V20). On a 78 Pete. The old fluid is black and has the smell of hydraulic fluid, not motor oil. No hint of red so do not think it is ATF. Would AW 46 be an appropriate fluid to replace? We use that in the wet kit. I plan to cycle the system to flush it once I get it back together. Just don't want to cause seal problems on the old girl.
To flush it should I leave the line from the steering box back to the pump loose or use the bypass hose?
