Auto Transmission Fluid v power steering fluid
Following a trip to Plymouth on Wednesday, the engine is still running hotter than it should. Allan got me ti check the atf under the driver seat and it was low. I went into a motor factors today and asked for Atf2 or 3 and was sold some power steering fluid. I queried this and the.man pointed to the back where it said Dexron III and II. I'm waiting for Allan to ring me back (no signal here) before putting it in. Can anyone advise me please

They are the same thing - Dexron 3 ATF or power steering fluid
