Power steering flush at 30k?

They must be. I have experienced no problems running regular PS fluid in the 2 Toyota's I mentioned above.

When my wife bought her '14 4Runner earlier this year, I decided to do something a little different. I scoured the web for "Toyota Power Steering Fluid" thinking I would find "clear" Dex. Called local dealers and was told they no longer carry it. That's when I was told they merely use regular PS fluid.

On eBay I found:

Idemitsu Power Steering Fluid.

The back labels shows it designed for a slew of Asian Cars to include Toyota. Bought 3 bottles. Will be using it in her SUV and my '15 Tacoma.

Not saying this is what needs to be done - just what I'll be doing.

I got Valvoline brand ps fluid at local auto parts store. I don't believe in Tranny fluid as the additives may not help/could hurt. Asked Toyota service tech and he showed me a generic PS bottle.

you can also use a turkey baster and suck out as much as you can and replace yearly. easy to do and will keep fluid relatively fresh...it will mix just like doing a drain and refill in your transmission.

shitty the spark plugs only go 30k. Anyone replace with Denso Iridium...those should be good for about 100k or so?
