Is power steering fluid and transmission the same?

No, power steering fluid and transmission fluid are not the same. They have different functions and requirements.

Power steering fluid is used in the power steering system to transfer power from the steering wheel to the wheels. It helps to make steering easier, especially at low speeds. Power steering fluid is typically a hydraulic fluid, which means that it is a liquid that can transmit power.

Transmission fluid is used in the transmission to lubricate the gears and other moving parts. It also helps to cool the transmission and prevent wear. Transmission fluid is typically a mineral oil, which is a type of petroleum-based oil.

Power steering fluid and transmission fluid are both important fluids for your car, but they have different functions and should not be mixed.
