Power Steering fluid?
Is the power steering fluid special? Most fluid I see is ATF but can't find a cross reference saying the GM fluid is ATF.
Anyone know for certain?

Check your owners manual. Mine for a 2005 says use GM Power Steering Fluid on page 6-11.

There was a discussion about that on the C5 Forum once, what I remember was "don't do it." Apparently there IS a difference between the two fluids, at least for GM.
