Boss pls
Goodmorning sir. Please I noticed that my car's power steering fluid is low. A bit gone past half. Is there any specific power steering fluid for it or I can buy any power steering fluid? 2000 Toyota Siena sir.

Secondly Sir, am a bit worried, my Siena is nearing 4 years it still has the follow come transmission fluid it came with and its pinkish. My Kazeem tells me not to be worried that it is synthetic fluid that there's no point flushing it but if I still decide to that I should buy the synthetic transmission fluid sold for 18k.

I have the same problem. Car starts only on the 3rd attempt. Could cooling fan connected directly to ignition aggravate this problem?

My car leaks coolant from the point where the coolant temp sensor is attached to the cooling pipeline system. We used gasket seal maker to plug the hole. Could this worsen the cold start problem? Fuel pressure has been checked and is OK.

It's just a lighter mobil xhp.
Use mobil 1 instead if it's your 1st service.
Choose your choice:
5w 20 for better fuel economy
5w 30 for better engine protection

In my opinion, theres nothing wrong with this. Its a semi-synthetic oil. The people producing it are not daft. If u want full synthetic, use Mobil 1 but if u want to be using semi-synthetic, use this one.
N.B. The Honda engine oil is semi-synthetic
