I have used trans fluid in the power steering fluid on plenty of cars. It will not know the difference. They are both a petroleum based product. However on my trans am since I know it has ps fluid in it I just put ps fluid in it and i usually just have to add a small amount. Most of the times i have run trans fluid it has been after the fluid has been drained and not in a rack and pinion car. But if the guy at the dealership told you then there must be some truth to it.
