Mate of mine has topped up his power steering on his x5 with engine oil by mistake rather than putting it in the engine oil filler

It's not hydraulic oil so I doubt it'll do the rack any good over time.

as above drain, refill with correct fluid take it for a drive then drain and refill again the seals most likely will not like the engine oil long term
