Referring to Royal Purple, Amsoil etc. How often you come across someone who have used it in the power steering? I will be replacing the steering gear this weekend with one that have been rebuilt, drilled and tapped for ram assist by Red Neck Ram.
My online searches indicated as many "No, it is not necessary" to "It is OK but a waste of money". There are also a number (in the minority) of people that are using synthetic in their XJ. So far, I usually fill it with what is on the store shelf when I walk in.
What is really strange is, the CD based manual for the 1996 year model do not list power steering fluid. It does however contains in-depth procedures of how to remove, repair, test and adjust every part of the steering system.
