| Some manufacturers do use ATF In their power steering systems. Look In the owner's manual and find the PS fluid part number and go to your local 'yota dealer or online and buy some. | |||||

| Thanks, guys. Like any factory, Toyota In Japan probably did use a cheap PS fluid. The fluid from the factory Is that gold/tan-ish clear. No pink or red ATF color ever. Who even knows If It was a synthetic type. I really doubt that. I'll be looking for some that Is of the "clear", not red, variety that has a name brand. | |||||

| Power steering Is a hydraulic system and needs hydraulic fluid. It's not that picky. Dexron Is a hydraulic fluid. Dexron IV Is the latest synthetic fluid providing best performance (and backwards compatibility). It Should work just fine. | |||||

| If the car has factory fluid In It, It Should have the same fluid as In the owner's manual, which Is calling for ATF. Use what It calls for. I would get some from the dealer to make sure you have 100% the right fluid. New ATF Is pink-ish clear when It's not very dirty and turns deeper red and eventually varnish brown as It wears out and Is neglected. | |||||

| Scotty & Guys: I'm the original owner: 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser, 47,092 miles. V6 Automatic, no codes... and no chance I ever sell It! In the power steering reservoir Is clear-ish PS fluid from the factory. The level has reached the "MIN" line & needs a bit added. The owners manual says us DexII or Dex III ATF. Any Idea what the factory may have used for PS fluid? The reservoir cap does not Indicate type and says "USE THE FLUID OF OUR SPECIFICATION". my thought Is It cannot be a good Idea to change (to ATF) away from what has worked. But, what Is that fluid? Thanks guys. | |||||

| That Is what I keep hearing, and It’s true. I have been trying to keep costs at a minimum while keeping the car going as long as I can. Also, It bothers me when a company tries to keep people from savings by limiting Info. Is this greed or Is WS a better choice ? Toyota makes millions, I don’t. I agree about the money. But why Should Toyota get more of It? Watt? | |||||

| I mean although Valvoline seems to claim It’s compatible with the “WS” aka “World-Standard” fluid (JWS3324 or NWS9638)… so maybe It’s just slightly different and cars just need a recalibration/adaptation.BUT yep! I never use anything but oem.I once tried to use “does no harm” fluid on my Volvo that claims to be compatible with Ford’s BO-DC (“green DCT fluid” - funny considering It was red…) specification and the transmission sounded really off so I ended up replacing It with oem almost right away (it was something crazy like $30 a quart 😩) | |||||

| Valvoline claims their stuff Is 100% compatible with Toyota. Here's the thing ... What Is 50 bucks every 4 years or so? $1 per month. That's not a significant difference In price when you think about It. | |||||
