My Haynes book says that all Ford Taurus(es) & Mercury Sable(s) from 1986-1990 use Motorcraft Type F automatic Transmission Fluid for the Power Steering fluid. The transmission fluid doubles as the power steering fluid.
FYI 1986 and 1987 automatic trans-axle fluid is Motorcraft Type H automatic transmission fluid and 1988 onward is Motorcraft Mercon automatic transmission fluid.
The brand doesn't matter so much as the right type of fluid.
Hope this helps.
All Ford Taurus power steering systems take MERCON V Transmission Fluid.
