Only if the treatment is specific to Power Steering systems. Engine oil or Transmission Fluid treatments are not compatible with power steering systems.
One caveat however, some power steering systems (especially in older vehicles) use transmission fluid and it would be safe to use a little bit of transmission fluid treatment in them. There may not be much benefit to doing so though, since transmission treatments are designed to address transmission issues, not power steering issues.

What kind of power steering fluid is used in a 1990 Toyota Camry?
Answer- OK, I have the same car and went through the same confusion. Use Dextron 2 or 3 as Toyota recommends. Don't use power steering fluid and don't think about brake fluid. The steering pumps in these cars are weak and love being replaced. It's not an easy job to change these out so you better use the Dextron 3 and keep up on the maintenance of your 17 yo car and it will take great care of you! Answer Dot 3 Answer My 94 Camry has a note about the correct fluid right on the cap, it says "Dexron II". I am pretty certain that yours uses either Dexron or power steering fluid, but almost certainly not dot3 brake fluid. Answer DO NOT ADD DOT3 BRAKE FLUID TO YOUR POWER STEERING!!! dex II is correct Answer Dextron 3 is okay --Never Dot 3 Brake Fluid I have a 1990 Toyota Camry DX. The Manufacture specs call for Dexron III. Its trany fluid. the same fluid used for the trany in the car.
Power steering went out on 94 probe SE fluids ok need help?
okay, budget for the repair, proceed with work and be prepared to operate from underneath car, my friends probe gt 6 cylinder engine has the power steering pump between the firewall and the engine, very tight area with minimal room to work. Note before beginning have the root cause of the power steering failure diagnosed professionally, this could simplify the task and save you time. If you need to change the pump get a diagram and be prepared to loosen a tensioner to remove the belt. have fun

Where is the oil filter located on a Buick Regal?
Okay, it took me about 10 minutes but I found it. I have a 1994 Buick Regal & my oil filter is on the back passenger side of the engine, about 3/4 of the way down, below the power steering box. I hope that helps! On my 1991 Buick Regal the oil filter is located under the power steering pump which you access through the passenger wheel well to remove/add the filter.
Should you drive to the mechanic with a major power steering fluid leak in a Ford F-250 Diesel?
Depends on how far you have to drive the vehicle. If the steering pump runs dry. it will become damaged and need replacement. If the mechanic is close enough to you and the pump reservoir does not run out of fluid within that driving time, it would be okay to drive to them. Most leaks in power steering occur when the steering pressure hose fails and starts leaking. Replacement of the hose is a fairly simple and easy job with your truck, and a lot less expensive than a steering pump. start your truck and have a friend turn the steering wheel while you watch the pump-steering box area under the hood. You should be able to see right away if the hose is leaking. Safety glasses reccomended.
Can you drive a vehicle with the power steering pulley on it without messing something up?
I'm not real sure what you are asking. If the pump has failed but the pulley still spins freely then yes, you can drive it for awhile that way without doing any real harm. If the pulley is completely frozen up but on a separate belt then you can take that belt off and drive it for awhile. Bear in mind though that a vehicle built with power steering needs that assist to be safe. It's not the same as a vehicle built without power steering. So, for awhile you are probably okay but you should get it fixed as soon as you are able to do so.
