Decent, but it's tough on the environment.

TL;DR Mineral-oil power steering fluid meeting named GM, Chrysler, and Ford specifications. Correct for most domestic vehicles; not for Honda or European platforms. Prop 65 warning applies; gloves warranted during flush work.
A conventional mineral-oil hydraulic fluid for domestic power steering systems. Documents three named OEM specifications on the label: GM 1050017, Chrysler 5931, and Ford M2C195-A. No stop-leak or seal conditioner included. Highly rated on Amazon, with no documented pump complaints in the review set.
Best for GM, Chrysler/Stellantis, or Ford/Lincoln owners whose reservoir requires one of the three documented specs. Skip for Honda or Acura hydraulic-assist systems, which require Honda PSF specifically. Also skip for electric power steering (EPS) vehicles (no hydraulic fluid used) and for European platforms that require a dedicated synthetic hydraulic fluid such as Pentosin CHF 11S.
SDS signal word is WARNING. Hazards at mixture level include skin irritation, suspected reproductive toxicity, and a narcosis classification. Prop 65 warning confirmed on the product label. Gloves are warranted for flush or drain work; brief top-off contact is low risk. Drain-destined fluid · collect and recycle with used motor oil; do not pour down a drain.
This fluid meets three named domestic OEM specifications: GM part number 1050017 (Spec. 9985010), Chrysler Spec. 5931, and Ford Spec. M2C195-A. The back label explicitly states it is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR HONDA VEHICLES. It is also not listed for European platforms requiring dedicated hydraulic fluid. Always cross-check your owner's manual or door-jamb service sticker before adding any power steering fluid.
Yes. The back-of-bottle label carries a California Prop 65 warning citing two chemicals · one linked to reproductive harm and one to cancer risk. The SDS also documents the Prop 65 status in Section 15. The Rainforest API incorrectly shows no Prop 65 warning; the label and SDS are authoritative.
Yes, provided your vehicle specifies one of the three OEM specs this fluid meets (GM 1050017/Spec. 9985010, Chrysler Spec. 5931, Ford M2C195-A). Do not use it to flush a Honda or European hydraulic-assist power steering system · those require a different fluid type.
No. The SDS Section 3 lists only petroleum distillates and a proprietary additive · no seal-swelling or stop-leak agents are disclosed. This makes it appropriate for a full preventive flush on a healthy system.
The SDS classifies this product as a skin irritant, a suspected reproductive toxin, and a potential cause of drowsiness or dizziness (central nervous system effects) at mixture level. These classifications combine to produce a WARNING signal word under GHS. The flash point exceeds 199°C, so fire hazard at normal pour temperatures is negligible.
