i seen on anuther site someone said toyotas use ATF (automatic transmission fluid) for power steering fluid and you souldnt use power steering fluid but only atf. is this true of all years just newer ones or what?
thanks

 

Yup that's true. The cap should say to use ATF.

 

Use Dexron II/III ATF fluid for the PS system. If you have the owners manual, it will recommend using that.

 

X3 ...... check your manual .

well then i know what i have to do tomarow
i didnt know that and always toped it off with power steering fluid. it looks like its all power steering fluid so i'll drain it all off and try to flush it out good.

 

i got it all changed out. it wasnt bad to do at all. it did look bad anyways so it needed to be changed. thanks for the help
