Of course putting horse crap in the oil is probably less damaging than slick 50, prolong, and duralube.... :-/ But why crap in the oil at all? |

You'll end up with ring wear from the PS fluid's detergent washing away the varnish and then the oil from the cylinder walls. Also stay away from Slick50, Prolong, Duralube, and anything else marketed to morons who think that major brand motor oils lack additives to protect their engines. |

I don't mean to defend those additives, but they'll probably be less harmful because most power steering fluids will put too much detergent into the engine oil. |
