Default ATF in PS Reservoir

I added about a 1/4 cup of Mercon V ATF to my PS reservoir.

Immediately realizing my mistake, I siphoned out all of the PS fluid and ATF
in the reservoir and refilled it with PS fluid, I then siphoned out all of
the fluid again and refilled it a second time with PS fluid, I then siphoned
it one last time and refilled it again.

Is there anything else I should do or am I good to go?

Thanks!

Joe

Pray?

Hell, I can't imagine they are they much diferent. They are both
lubicating, non-compressible fluids. I would guess that the Mercon is
just more temperature tolerant. I think your flushing of the PS
reservoir was more than sufficient.

I saw a lady in a grocery store parking lot pouring 10w30 into her
carburator once. Now there's something to be worried about.
