    What’s the consensus on power steering fluid? Repair manual says Dex II atf but I’m tempted to try royal purple psf since I’ve had good luck with their atf.

    I’m trying to avoid valvoline since their sh!t seems to stink. But maybe it’s just me.

    ^Owner's manual says Dexron II or III. I found the least expensive source for Dexron III was actually at my local Toyota dealers, which carry Mobil ATF D/M, compliant to the Dexron III standard.

    4 run, 2 don't
    Use Dex ATF per the manual.

    Power steering fluid is not used in these racks.
