My mother's Toyota calls for Dexron ATF as Power Steering Fluid.
I noticed at my parents house two bottles of regular Power Steering Fluid, one STP P/S fluid, and the other Valvoline Synthetic P/S fluid (non-Dexron). I asked my dad and either me or him added STP or Valvoline fluid, probably a few years ago. I'm thinking it was me and I probably added the Valvoline Synthetic...but no more than 0.5 to 1.0 ounces.
No adverse effects in performance seen, but the color resembles used motor oil after a few thousand miles.
Should I flush it out and replace with the appropriate Dexron ATF?
