Engine oil vs power steering fluid?
Each is designed for its own place in the vehicle. I would definitely avoid putting any power steering fluid in the crankcase. I would also avoid putting motor oil in the power steering. Power steering fluid is generally thinner than motor oil and would not be an advisable alternative to put in the crankcase. Now motor oil is thicker and can potentially damage components in the power steering with prolonged use. The detergents in motor oil may cause different issues with seals in the power steering, including leaks. On older vehicles the power steering generally called for automatic transmission fluid, but using power steering fluid in its place shouldn't hurt and may actually help.
