ass15 is an unknown quantity at this point
i used STP Power Steering fluid & stop leak. its color is light redish/pinkish.... would you say its atf?

either way i think best thing to do now is to go ahead and take out the fluids and put in the atf... . live and learn... i must say.

My Lexus takes ATF also, clearly written in the manual, yet I had to drain PS fluid out of it and replace the pump right after I bought it since the original owner couldn't read either.
