owners manual says that psf-3 type fluid should be used. can't find it anywhere. did find a Prestone that is specifically engineered for use in all Asian vehicles. thing is, the prestone stuff is a premium full-synthetic formulation, and I think I read somewhere that if I use synthetic, I will need to flush the system. what should I do if I can't find pst-3 type fluid?
