its pronounced, "wine"

this is interesting, what I don't like is the "use ONLY in vehicles pre 1998"  is there another Power Steering fluid from Mopar that is for post 1998 vehicles?  

I believe it means the use of other than power steering fluid may damage pre 1998 vehicles. Unless i am missing something on the label.

correct...hose technology isnt up to par iin the PRE-98.

Also, clean the screen filter in the PS system hose connection...they gunk up sporadically, and are the cause of many a hard to diagnose PS racket.

So after 2 days of driving seems like it is getting better by the day.  Haven’t experienced groan since Sunday.  Will keep paying close attention

Strange but true. After 300k miles and I replace my reservoir to seal the screen in my pump was spotless and clean. No debris at all. The reservoir was clean also just wiped it out to clean out in the old fluid residue.
