About 15 years ago I put a new power steering hose on. I filled the system with ATF only. As I thought ATF could be used. As I had topped off a low power steering system before with no problems. When I started the engine up with only ATF. I started having foam coming out of my power steering pump. What I found out was that ATF doesn't have the anti-foaming additives that power steering fluids have. What I learned was you can use ATF in a pinch to top off a steering system. But that's it. I change my ATF and my power steering fluids every 20,000 miles.
