Ok another noob post from me :( , i have bought some PAT Fluid from a local motor factors its Granville PAT Fluid + Conditioner?, the liquid currently in my car is blue where this is red fluid, therefore they must be two different types?, is it ok to top up with this stuff. I did ask for PAT Fluid for a Ford Focus. Once again sorry for the nooby topic, im not clued up with cars AT ALL and just want to be reassured i dont put the wrong stuff in :p , my manual said it should meet some sort of spec but i take it this dosnt does it even matter.

EDIT: 32 views, cheers for the help :( :/

And you are unlikely get help with that attitude I'm afraid, no one owes you an answer. The chances are that the people that have viewed your post simply didn't know. Would you rather have had 32 replies saying "sorry, I don't know"?

That said I will try to help. Firstly, what is PAT fluid? I have never heard of it, and Google throws up nothing either. Power steering systems usualy take one of the ATF grades of oil (which are almost always red). Your cars handbook should specifiy exactly what grade Ford recommend, if the Granville stuff meets or exceeds that specifiation (spec. should be printed on the bottle) it will be fine to use.
