I tried the Google but couldn't find a definitive answer in the short time I looked.

I have both (Amsoil) and would like to use which ever would be best long-term for my steering when I put in the hydro-assist. 

I asked AGR and they said synthetic of my choice. Owner's manual lists both, PSF first.

 

Does anyone know if there is any advantage of one over the other?

I run royal purple synthetic with amsoil treatment.   It seems to work just fine for me.    I also run a cooler up front for my system.

Is it PSF or ATF? Is there an advantage of one over the other? Just wondering.

I do have the cooler up front already.

I'd go PSF cause the ATF is pissing me off with their opinion letters...

Um...what?

I'm not so sure Kevin.  I think Greg and Brad are incorrect.  It should be PHAT or LOL.  And actually OMG is something you should consider as well.  Then there's LMAO and FOMO are both pretty good also.  Have you considered WWDDD, DAD or FINALS?  I bet not!  So, see there.. Don't jump to conclusions too quickly without considering all your sources.

All I can say in never mix them (PSF and ATF).

 

The PS Pump went out on my Mustang, so I replaced it and filled with PSF. Ford uses ATF in the PS Pump (which I did not know). So about 200 miles later, the seals in the rack blow out. My guess is the fluids did not mix well, and ate the seals. I am really not looking forward to changing the rack.
