Please tell me that my Power Steering system is not gonna die.

I had my Tranny flushed as well as my PS system flushed. When I came back to get the car it dawned on me that I had read that my 99 max uses atf in the ps system. The tech showed me that he used this http://www.run-ritestore.com/Detail.bok?no=17 and said that he uses it all the time in Maximas with no problem and not to worry. It says on the bottle, compatible with MOST imports. He said that when it says MOST imports, that it means excluding crazy imports like a porsche or Benz, and that my max was perfectly safe. Now I am biting my nails. I will tell you this however, my steering is nice and tight with no slack in it like before, but i attribute this to most likely an air bubble being taken out. No problems thus far. I drove the car around for about 20 miles today and it fealt great. Is this stuff okay?
