funny thing is though, these were designed for dextron... not the thicker (harder to push) power steering fluid.
Yes, dextron will foam, but, only if there is air in the system, which...as you know, indicates something wrong. (or just putting it together and needs bleeding still)
I have also been turning wrenches my entire adult life...last 15 years or so, and use what ever the factory recomends... or what ever is already in the system. Some big trucks use motor oil... just depends on what system you are dealing with.
Nothing but dextron in mine. I checked with bvot the caddy parts (pump) and the chevy parts (everything else) on my trucks, and it all called for dextron.
