No, not all Power Steering fluid is the same. Different vehicles may require specific types of fluid based on their hydraulic systems, and using the incorrect type can lead to damage. Common types include ATF (automatic Transmission Fluid) and dedicated power steering fluids, which can have varying formulations. Always refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended fluid type.
