Power Steering fluid is typically hydraulic or transmission oil. Drain the engine and change the filter. Replace the oil in the crankcase with the correct oil and amount. I don't believe it will damage the car but PS oil was not designed for use in a crankcase of an internal combustion engine.

YES. your power steering pump is a hydraulic pump that pushes fluid through lines to make your wheels move. hydraulic fluid such as ATF or POWER STEERING FLUID is good for your power steering pump. it is a PUMP after all.

Engine oil vs power steering fluid?

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.
