According to the 2003 Ford Focus Owner Guide : ( Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used as the power steering fluid )
Power steering should never go down unless there is a leak found in the system. Therefore, you generally would not need to top up your brake fluid on a ford Focus.

For a Ford Focus, the recommended power steering fluid is typically Mercon ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid). It's essential to check your owner's manual for the specific year and model, as fluid specifications can vary. Some newer models may use a specific power steering fluid instead of ATF. Always ensure that you use the correct fluid to maintain optimal steering performance and prevent damage.

Power steering fluid.
Ford escort has a power steering fluid capacity of one point. The manufacturer recommends that you never overfill the power steering fluid.
A Ford Focus may leak power steering fluid on the driver's side due to a few common issues, such as a damaged power steering hose, a failing power steering pump, or a leaking steering rack. Additionally, worn seals or gaskets in these components can contribute to fluid leaks. It's essential to inspect the system for visible damage and check fluid levels regularly to identify and address any issues promptly.
At least for the 2005 model, the manual recommends using automatic transmission fluid to refill the power steering level in the car. Consult your manual to verify.
My 2010 Ford Escape's manual says it has electric assist steering.......would it even have power steering fluid?
The power steering fluid for it is actually the transmission fluid. It should be Mercron. Is this suposed to go in the power steering chamber or the transmission chamber to work. The fluid in my 2006 Ford Escape XLT steering fluid tank is black.
