2004 BMW X3

Today, I got the BMW X3 battery charged, and then the BMW fired right up. So, it's running now, but it pretty much has no power steering.

So, I want to add some power steering fluid to the 2004 BMW X3.

The problem is, for some reason, they appear to want to put Automatic Transmission Fluid into the Power Steering Reservoir.

This video says to Use ATF Only on the power steering reservoir cap.

This website lists "2004 BMW X3 - Power Steering Fluid - Vehicle Specific" and says to use Automatic Transmission Fluid.

So, tonight I went back to Walmart (in Evergreen this time) and I bought some Automatic Transmission Fluid, which I will put in the X3's power steering reservoir tomorrow.

Then, I think I can renew the license plates and it should be good to go.
