Ik have to add a little power steering oil. The power steering is ok, but
the fluid level is a little too low. Can I put some ATF-F (same as the oil
for the "manual mainshaft") in the fluid reservoir?

I wouldn't.

It calls for Dexron, the same stuff that is used in automatic
transmissions, not Type F (which is used in manual gearboxes).

I use synthetic tranny fluid but then I am biased by facts ..

Read the owners manual that came with your car.
