Check your owners manual as your year may be different then mine. However my car does use ATF.

Use Mercon/ Dexron III or Mercon ATF. Don't use that clear **** marked "Power Steering Fluid" in a Ford. You'll be replacing the steering rack in a bit if you do.

I use mobil 1 ATF in mine. Redline steering fluid is supposed to be good and get rid of heat quickly, I've never used it though.
