I added about a 1/4 cup of Mercon V ATF to my PS reservoir.
Immediately realizing my mistake, I siphoned out all of the PS fluid and ATF in the reservoir and refilled it with PS fluid, I then siphoned out all of the fluid again and refilled it a second time with PS fluid, I then siphoned it one last time and refilled it again.
Is there anything else I should do or am I good to go?
Thanks!

Well you should let us know what car you're talking about because in fact some vw's use ATF fluid as power assist steering fluid.

Actually a lot of vehicles use Dex ATF for power steering. My mother has a Lexus and the local tire place told her that her power steering was old and needed to be replaced. :-) Some people don't realize that it's supposed to be red. :)
