Transmission fluid and Power Steering fluid are the same fluid?

Does 1996 Nissan Maxima GLE use the same fluid for its transmission fluid and power steering fluid?

Spec for ATF (10 quarts capacity) is Nissan Matic-D but Dexron III and the latest Dexron VI should work. You can also go for the more expensive Mobil 1 ATF or Amsoil. After the transmission service, add a bottle of LubeGard Red ATF Protectant (@ $13 from Napa).

Spec for P/S fluid is Dexron II and again Dexron III should work.

I use Mobile 1 synthetic blend in both applications. It states on the bottle that it's compatable with Matic D.
