In the 2006 Ford Fusion, it is suggested to use Mercon ATF as the power steering fluid. You have the option of using Valvoline Conventional Transmission Fluid Mercon or Valvoline MaxLife Full Synthetic Transmission Fluid Multi-Vehicle as well. The main purpose of power steering fluid in your vehicle is to ensure smooth steering when turning the wheels. If you start feeling stiffness in the wheels, it's a good idea to inspect the power steering reservoir's level. A low level may indicate a potential leak in the system, so I advise checking the level every time you open the hood.
The 2006 Fusion requires regular power steering fluid.
