As for the pwr steering, I've only just flushed it recently (a week or so). I thought it might benefit the pump or prolong its service life.
I mean, what harm could a bit of (HC)mineral oil with moly in it do that ATF doesn't already? The LM Oilguide specs ATF 1100 and that's what I used, just with an added bit of molly (about enough for 3 litres though the it only takes about 2).
How might it hurt stuff?
I use Getriebeoil Additiv in my differentials, it is great stuff. Although I have no experience using it in manual transmissions or transfer cases.
As far as MoS2 in the power steering system goes, ATF is a hydraulic fluid with low compressibility. I am not sure how MoS2 would affect compressibility of a fluid, so maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in. That said, I will send an email to the R&D Manager at Liqui-Moly to see what he says.
