yes you can mix power steering fluid. i had a problem with mine where it would whine and i ended up having to replace my lines because i had a leak in the hose where the hard line clamped to the soft line.

Hey guys, not sure of the cause, probably just a poorly made part Ford buys or something along those lines, but my solution was pretty lucky. I was out of warranty for everything but power train by about a 1000 miles, but the dealership here in College Station went ahead and did the work anyways free of charge. The receipt that I have says
"...CAUSE: LEAK FOUND AT STEERING PRESSURE LINE. R AND R PRESSURE LINE AND STEERING PUMP.
3674A PUMP - POWER STEERING - REMOVAL AND INSTALL OR REPLACE (3A674) - L (then techs name and the time it took)
1 8L3Z*3A719*A HOSE ASY
3 XT*5*QMC FLUID - TRANSMISSION
1 7L3Z*3A674*BG PUMP ASY - POWER STEERING
1 *388898*S SEAL...
...PART# 7L3Z*3A674*BG"
If that helps.
I hear horror stories about "stealerships" screwing people over, but my local Ford dealership has been good to me the two times that I've visited them.

Just had to top mine off today but have a feeling my pump is shot. Have 108k miles on it. But found out that these trucks dont take "powersteering fluild" Its actually Mercon v transmission fluid.

I guess that's what "3 XT*5*QMC FLUID - TRANSMISSION" is, cuz I was wondering about that.
