probably depends on the type of bearing in the pump and seals in the rack.

If you put PS fluid in you well destroy the bearings. Trust me I know from personal experience.

Sorry to bring up an old post, but does anyone know if you can use the same Type-II ATF the tranny needs for the power steering or does it have to be the Dexron II stuff in the owner's manual?

Use the Mobil 1 Dexron synthetic ATF fluid. Flush the system and refill with the synthetic ATF.
