You should be able to find the newer part number all over the place. If you don't fall asleep reading it, it has a lot of information on the fluid itself, especially what it's made out of and additives and such. One of the links on the Bob site, points to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of this stuff. Mind you, the Bob website is open to interpretation or input, but it seems viable and reliable in this case. If you look at the GM bottle, it is that same shape, so don't doubt it is the same. When I say the same exact, it appears Gold Eagle has a patent (or trademark) on the shape of the bottle. Thing is, though, this is the same exact stuff GM is selling as PN 89021182. This is billed as a "universal" power steering fluid which can be mixed with other types of power steering fluid. This suggests a couple of things, one of which states that the new fluid is actually provided to GM by a company called Gold Eagle. Reading further on a website called Bob Is The Oil Guy, they have reference to what I have mentioned above. And along those lines, if the first part supplier goes out of business, GM would have to look for, and get a new supplier, and then again, put a new part number on the part. To identify the new "part" they put a new number on it. Other fluids may work well, but they don't have the track record of the GM fluid. An alternate power steering fluid is available for a select group. GM power steering fluid was developed specifically to work in the Saginaw power steering pumps. Note: In some extreme operating conditions, this fluid may not correct the condition. I don't know what the older version's color was, but "amber-colored" seems pretty common for power steering fluid.ĮDIT: Another, more innocuous reason, for changing a part number is they create a new contract with a different manufacturer. To resolve this condition, replace any damaged power steering system components, flush the power steering system and refill with Cold Climate power steering fluid. Typically, when an auto manufacturer like GM supersedes an older part number, the newer part number will be compatible in place of the older version.
