Modern oils wouldnt attack the seals like old fashioned ones would. (They used to cause shrink and swell, leaving a right old mess but im confident a modern synthetic wont do this.)

Dont enter the Le Mans in it though, as occasionally woolly steering feel from the easier to compress multigrade may cause a crash.
Well there you have it

Nice one Stu.

Vauxhalls use ATF in the power steering too, so in their case Id be happy to say the seals were safe, but didnt realise most cars did the same
