I top up, and start hearing the annoying whining noise, so i figured it out this is the wrong fluid type.

I also have Preston power steering fluid + stop leaks but since windstar FAQ says: "don't use power steering fluid" I didn't use this one. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Power-Steering-Fluid-Prestone_89014917-P_N3282_T|GRP2052

In my city I couldnt find Mobil 1 ATF. But I can buy ATF Type F at napa.

So, which one of these can I use (since red line products or mobil 1 are not an option here).

Thanks in advance.

What is the original fluid < power steering fluid (I believe fluid should be clear looking) or transmission fluid, (red)?? Mixing of the two different fluids might be the problem.

According to manual and TSB's the transmission fluid was started in 98.
