Steering problems

Diffences are in the actual (secret) ingredients. Lots have to do with the seals. The wrong fluid could damage a seal, and cause a leak.

Lubricating properties, etc.

You'll never get an exact answer, due to the 'proprietary' nature of the fluids, and who makes them.

ie: Honda gearbox oil. It pours like 10w-40 motor oil. Honda says NEVER use motor oil in the gearbox, as it does NOT have the (secret) lubricating ingredients.
