I have been digging through the forum for recommended power steering fluid for my 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. Accoring to the owners manual it states to use PSF-3 which is only available at the dealer. I have been digging around and some claim that the Hyundai SPIII ATF fluid is the same fluid as in the P/S. I was skeptical until I stumbled on a technical data sheet for Motul Multi ATF with the following specs:

GM DEXRON III G / III H / II D / II E, Allison C4,
FORD MERCON & MERCON V,
Daimler Chrysler ATF +3, ATF +4, MB 236.9
JASO 1A
Hyundai / Kia Diamond ATF SPIII & PSF 3
Voith G607, ZF TE-ML 03D / 04D / 14A
