Can you use ford fluid e-atps to refill power steering in a us ranger xlt from 1998?

No, you should not use Ford Fluid E-ATPS (which is an automatic transmission fluid) in the power steering system of a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT. This will likely damage the power steering pump and seals.

1998 Ford Rangers use a specific power steering fluid, typically a power steering fluid (sometimes dexron ATF is specified depending on the exact year and options, but E-ATPS is not a suitable replacement). Check your owner's manual for the precise recommendation. If you don't have the manual, consult a Ford parts dealer or a reputable auto parts store with your vehicle's information (VIN is ideal). They can provide the correct fluid type. Using the wrong fluid can lead to expensive repairs.
