Power Steering Fluid?

May be a stupid question, but is the tranny fluid that i put in the power steering pump the same type of fluid that i put in the tranny. Otherwise, if i use Mercon in the tranny, do i also use Mercon in the pump?

IIRC the advantage to the Mobil 1 Syn. ATF is that it helps reduce the whine noise you get from the steering box, yes?
