Motor Tank

I accidentally put motor oil in my power steering tank what do I do now?

I used a hand pump and pumped the reservoir empty. Do I need to flush the tank before adding fresh power steering fluid. I called 3 auto stores and they all said it's no big deal it should be fine. Is this true? I couldn't find any flush at the auto parts store either.

power steering systems are very forgiving. you can run vegetable oil in them and will not hurt them. actually on some of the ford power steering pumps with the plastic resivor make a loud whining noise after replacing them, many re builders suggest putting 30 weight motor oil instead of power steering fluid or ATF , It really works.
The only cars that have a problem are usually the newer hondas. so I think that if you just drain the fluid out and put Automatic transmission fluid in you will be just fine. A lot of people think you have to use power steering fluid, in actuality, you don't
no need to flush
