The problem with Dextron or any other transmission fluid is that it has detergents in it. Over the life of the car all kinds of guck, varnish, steel fragments and small pieces from the inside of the power steering hoses settle into the nooks and crannies of the system. Add a good detergent fluid and the settled material will breakup and move. 10 years of garbage through the new pump or gear within 2 weeks.
Better to use an inert power steering fluid.
