Default Power steering BT...

i purchased this PS fluid from autozone, it says it meets or exceeds most recommendations for most car manufacturers, etc etc. I realize most use Pentosin, but does it really matter? I wanted to flush my PS fluid today since how i already have the fluid, otherwise i have to order pentosin from authaus and change it next weekend. Since how no local auto part shops sell pentosin...online retailers seem to be the only place to get pentosin.

can i use this? yay or nay?
TIA!<ul><li><a href="http://www.valvoline.com/pages/products/product_detail.asp?product=74">http://www.valvoline.com/pages/products/product_detail.asp?product=74</a</li></ul>

Default No, no, no, no, no, no....

No. It's not the right fluid. Not even close. Using it is like a timebomb. If you've put some in the system, for now, buy Pentosin and flush everything through ASAP.
