I added about a 1/4 cup of Mercon V ATF to my PS reservoir.

Immediately realizing my mistake, I siphoned out all of the PS fluid and ATF
in the reservoir and refilled it with PS fluid, I then siphoned out all of
the fluid again and refilled it a second time with PS fluid, I then siphoned
it one last time and refilled it again.

Is there anything else I should do or am I good to go?

Thanks!

Joe

I would not "Worry" at all Joe, especially if pump was not running! Also,
doubt that ATF would harm anything if it did mix. You're good to go!!

Wouldn't worry about it. Back it the 60-70 they used ATF in the PS for most
Chevys and they small PS fluid they sold were more for convinence and higher
profit. I'm not sure with the Mercon but I'd say you'll be fine, especially
since you got most of it out.
