    Both are Dexron III compatible. I use the blue bottle since that’s what Toyota calls for, is similarly priced, and widely available.

    There must be many thousands of trucks now running the "red bottle" Valvoline ATF and it apparently works just fine. Mine included. Just don't trust any brand of fluid that simply says "power steering fluid" - chances are, it isn't the right one to be using.

    From my 07 manual, “Power steering fluid type: Automatic transmission fluid DEXRON II or III”.
