Fiat Ducato 2.8 power steering fluid?
Permalink  

My recently purchased 2006 Jayco Conquest users Fiat Ducato 2.8 turbo diesel mechanics. The power steering fluid is on the minimum mark and the book says to use Tutela GI/A fluid. I can't get that, so what is an equivalent that will mix with it?

Thanks folks

Hi jrk36

I have not come to that problem yet

I am led to believe, that Fiat has shares in an oil mob, so they therefore recommend a certain brand of oil

I am also led to believe that, when a Fiat is under warranty, and goes in for repairs, they check a sample of the oil
If you are not using their oil, then you have no warranty

The mob below recommend Castrol Power Steering Fluid, for our vehicle (This happens to be a Castrol website)
https://www.datateck.com.au/lube/castr_au/

The mob below recommend Nulon Multi-Vehicle Power Steering Fluid, for our vehicle (This happens to be a Nulon website)
http://www.datateck.com.au/lube/NulonAus/default.asp

As the vehicle takes only 1.3 litres, I would probably drain the old fluid, and refill with a reputable brand

To the best of my knowledge there are two Fiat Commercial mobs in or around Perth

Purley Commercials & Welshpool Fiat Professionals

If you find that they stock, and sell the Fiat recommended oils, can you let us all know please

Edit to say, just making sure that the links work, but they do not open at the page I was reading
You have to select the vehicle from a list, and it gives all the oils for the vehicle selected

Hope that the info is useful to you

 Interesting that neither of those sites list a 2.8 turbo diesel in 2016 (or 2015), only the 2.3 and 3.0.

Hi jrk36
I did not explain it enough

On the Castrol website, the first link I gave, this is how I found our vehicle type of oil

Click twice on Commercial Vehicles - Light/Medium & 4WD

Castrol 1.png

Click twice on FIAT

Castrol 2.png

Click twice on Ducato Series, 2.8 Litre Turbo Diesel Eng (2002-2007)

Castrol 3.png

Scroll down the page, and you will see all the engine/transmission/power steering oils, brake fluid, and radiator coolant, which Castrol recommend for our vehicle

The Nulon website is similar

Let me know if you found it, I am using Windows 10 on a computer, it may be different on a tablet/phone

Thanks Tony - it works going in that way, but you're correct - there is some sort of fault and does not work on my iPad.
