The Redline product works great, I have used it for years in my ESP
Camaro steering. Problem is with heating of the fluid as well as the
petroleum based oils will start to foam easier than a synthetic. Any
foaming and the pump is then trying to push air and it starts telling
you about it.....the dreaded whine.
