I accidentally added oil to my hydraulic steering. How do I flush this stuff out? I have email Seastar, but want to get this stuff out of the system ASAP. <br /><br />Thanks for any advice <br />Don

Don't worry about it. When you said 'added' I assume you mean you were topping off the system, which shouldn't have taken more than an oz or two of fluid. The stuff is just oil anyway, and in fact they tell you on the jug they sell it in that you can substitute low viscosity oil in the systems. If I had to guess I'd say that over half of them in existance are filled with ATF rather than the recommended fluid anyway. Don't worry about it.<br /><br />Thom
