Power steering fluid

I decided to flush the PS fluid yesterday and went to Auto parts store for fluid. The manual calls for MERCON fluid. What I found was Valvoline ATF Dex/MERC MERCON LV. What is LV and is it compatible with plain old MERCON ATF? It's in already but I can flush again if I goofed.

Thanks,
Matt

Here are 2 links I found about the fluid:

http://www.valvoline.com/pdf/Maxlife_ATF.pdf

http://fcsdchemicalsandlubricants.com/main/product.asp?product=MERCON%AE%20LV%20Automatic%20T ransmission%20Fluid&category=Transmission%20Fluid

According to the second link I understand the fluid not to be compaitable with Mercron fluids. Not sure it would be a problem in the power steering or not.

Hope this helps

Edit: LV stands for low vicosity from what I read.
