PS fluid and ATF are not interchangeable for any Benz after the W123. ATF will eat the seals in the newer PS pumps. I know, it happened to mine. I don't know of any real other use for PS fluid, it's a light hydraulic oil with anti-wear characteristics for vane type pumps.

ATF fluid and Power Steering fluid should be pretty much the same. Both are made to run hydraulic "things"... My new Ford truck specs for the use of ATF oil for power steering. That is satisfying, since that's what I've been using for the last 30 years. ;)) I don't know what kind of cooking

I am in the process of straightening up my garage to clear out some of the clutter. I'm finding lots of items that I haven't needed for several years. I have the tendency to keep these things "just in case". Among those items are about five containers (some open, some sealed) of power steering
