Can you substitute power steering fluid for ATF fluid?

In most cases, it is not recommended to substitute power steering fluid for ATF fluid, as they have different compositions and may not perform well in the other system. Power steering fluid is specifically formulated for use in power steering systems, while ATF fluid is designed for automatic transmissions.

Substituting one for the other can lead to issues such as reduced steering performance, increased wear on components, and potential leaks or damage to the system.

If you need to add fluid to your power steering system, it's best to use the recommended power steering fluid specified in your vehicle's owner's manual.
