Default ATF +4

Question for those of you in the know. My Power Steering is leaking YET again. So i went by the neighborhood PEP Boys looking for MOPAR ATF +4. They didn't have any by MOPAR but they did have ATF +4 by Pennzoil....
Is this anygood? is it compatible with what i have in there now? Is it even synthetic?

I didn't buy it because i didn't want to take a chance and screwing up the power steering up, so i decided to wait until the dealership opened....But i am curious, could i have used it? (Pennzoil ATF +4)

Should be fine. I noticed my PS fluid is a bit low. Wally-World usually carries Mopar, but not enough to change the tranny fluid.

i thought the lucas product was a temporary fix? How does it stop the leak? is it compatible with our Power Steering fluid?
