Just go to your local dealer or parts store and get a bottle of power steering fluid. It's not like tranny fluid or brake fluid, it's pretty universal.

 

hmmm idk toyota only using ATF for their power systems .. i wont even wanna try to just put any power steering fluids in there .i guess i will do Synthetic Dexron-III ATF if i can find some by pepboys

 

The power steering fluid that we use says "Toyota Power Steering Fluid". If you compare what's in that compared to what's in any other power steering fluid bottle....you will see that everything is the same.

A second note: Dexron III ATF is red in color. Your power steering fluid is a brownish/black.

Dexron II or III is a type of fluid, not a brand. You can get it anywhere. Walmart, Autozone, Safeway. Any brand is fine. Dexron is a more tightly controlled standard than 'power steering fluid' which has to adhere to no standard as such. Use what Toyota tells you to use.

 

Like I said before.....you can pretty much use anything. It's not a Lamborghini......

 

This right here...I use the cheapest PS fluid I can find at Walmart. Have had no issues.

I used Pentosin 11S ATF ….

 

I always use engine oil. I am not saying it is right thing to do. I was doing it forever in all cars. Keep in mind I live in FL. Probably not a good idea in Alaska.

 

That’s uh…not a good idea. It says to use Dex III ATF. You can get enough ATF to flush it out for $20

 

I remember when and why I did it first time. It was probably around 1996. My mom's Buick had worn out rack and pinion and it was very hard to turn steering wheel. Guess what I did?

 

The PS fluid in my car when it came was always clear/yellowish, kind of like brake fluid. When I did my engine rebuild and had to refill it, I put in Dexron III ATF from O'reilley auto parts. They have their own brand stuff. This fluid is red, which is different than the PS fluid that was there before, but it works just as well.

 

AFAIK, power st. fluid, ATF and engine oil have same base oil. brake fluid is completely different.

 

Ahhh, piss on it!

WTF for top ups. Why she leakin' anyway...gots the drip???
