Old school rodders did/do but the manu doesn't recommend it. PS is supposed to be formulated specifically for the PS system, but it could be a bunch of BS for extra coin. Long story short, read a forum for your model vehicle, you'd be bewildered at the amount of tricks, mods, and useful info these guys share. Particularly handy for those with big knuckles and dirty nails.
Check your owners manual, some vehicles use ATF from the factory.
