318ti.org forum - View Single Post - Is this True: ATF in Power Steering?

Okay, so I just read this on Bimmerforums... That the E36 uses ATF oil for the power steering as well. And then I searched on here ... so, is it true that we are supposed to use ATF for the power steering?
All this time I've been using power steering fluid from the auto store here. Should i switch it?
