Yeah... using the wrong type of electricity will foul up the power steering pump. :roll:
Powersteering pumps have used atf since they invented power steering pumps.
atf is a hydaulic oil with additives for orings, anti foaming, and rust inhibitors. And yes, some new ones require synthetic due to higher pressures and that causes higher heat.
