I use Mobil One ATF in cars that spec ATF for the power steering.  Auto
Zone has it on the shelf for ~$5/qt.

Seriously doubt it...  WW is water based.  Plus the reason it works in
water is you get localized boiling (like steam bubbles on the bottom of a
pan on your stove.)  Any sort'a PS fluid would probably ignite or turn to
charred sludge before boiling.  You could mix WW and PSF in a glass and see
if they're soluble at all.
