What type of power steering fluid should I use?

I suggest Read Your Owners Manual under Fluid Specification and Capacity Index. I had a 97 Lexus es300 and I had a Leak in the Power Steering System. I used the Lucas Brand Power Steering Additive (Recondition Seal) and it works like a charm! In addition I had use the Normal Power Steering Fluid and it was making Noise! So I Follow What's Noted right on the Power Steering Reservoir Cover that it says ATF and it Solved the Noise Issue. I hope this information is very helpful and solve your problem too.

To guruvkb5t, did you add the reconditioned seal to the steering fluid reservoir or elsewhere?

Yes Lexus uses DEXTRON transmission fluid for power steering. I have been through 2 rack and pinions by not knowing using regular power steering fluid. Do not mess with this or you will have car repairs on the horizon.

It means the parts counterman/woman is stupid. I’ll say, you must went to Autozone. Lol. Those people are stupid, I went in there and asked for a 6mm nut & bolt. The guy asked me, what’s it for, he needs to know the year, made, model, and engine size of the car. I told him I need to talk to his manager, so I can tell him what I was looking for, he went grabbed his manager, and the manager said the same thing, “ oh, you must give us the info of the car so I can look it up in the computer” lol. I walked out and never shop at Autozone again. Btw, to answer your question, yes! Toyota or Lexus vehicles use Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) type: Dexron II/III.(Dexron 2 or 3) as Power Steering Fluid.
