Power steering fluid question

My power steering reservoir is low and needs fluid added. As I understand Mitsu fluid is full synthetic ATF based. Will Royal Purple full Synthetic ATF fluid that I have for my other cars work or should purchase the Mitsu fluid?

I've used auto parts fluid and don't have any problems and even removed the power steering cooler line and just have it going direct! but i don't autocross or anything just daily drive and go down the line fast.
