Hi I am looking at what hood oil to put into the pump of our Ford Escort XR3i. So far people have said any power steering fluid or Brake fluid, which to me sounds like recommending chalk and cheese lol. What do you guys recommend? It's a 1989 Ford Escort XR3i Cabriolet  . |

ask ford main dealer then ask at the local motor factor for the non ford brand, i know that the power steering fluid is auto gearbox fluid so i would guess the same for the hood pump BUT just check

...and twice the price. bloody scene tax.
On a more helpful note, I'm sure you can use auto box fluid, which is the same stuff as power steering fluid anyway. It's just generic hydraulic fluid at the end of the day, it doesn't have to work under extreme conditions like engine oil. Brake fluid would probably work, but it's more expensive as it is better quality.
