Used to only use ATF as Power steering fluid. Then got to reading the service manual on one of my Dodge pickups and it specifically said to NOT use ATF in a Chrysler power steering system. The service manual states that the ATF would effect the seals. So I looked at what I usually kept for fluids. I tried 15w40 Motor oil, HYGuard hydraulic oil, Low Viscosity HYGuard and just regular 10W motor oil What I found that worked the best in the Dodge pickups was the Low Viscosity Hyguard. The motor oils and the regular HYGuard did not work very well in the winter.
Sign that the manual might have been correct is that I stopped having to seals issues on the Dodge steering boxes. Prior to this I would have to replace them about once each year. Now it is maybe every 3-4 years.
If you look at Power steering fluid specs. It does not have near the additives of ATF. So some of them Might effect steering systems. Some Ford systems recommend ATF so it all depends.
