I need to refill the power steering fluid but the user manual says to fill it with - "Automatic transmission fluid DEXTRON II or III". Is this instruction correct or was it a typo in the manual.
Thanks Joe

trans fluid has been used in power steering since 89? my 91 takes trans fluid. My differential takes trans fluid and of course the transmission takes trans fluid.
Dexron III is the lowest quality acceptable (and most available) hydraulic fluid acceptable to Toyota. Buy genuine power steering fluid. Toyota does not use Dexron for factory fill.
