Hello,
I have Toyota Camry 2011 LE, left my dad passed away recently. I do not know what type of fluid to use, and called several dealerships. Some assure me that any Power Steering Fluid would be ok to use, the others insist on a Transmission Dexron III only to use. For some reason, it is leaking somewhere because the reservoir is periodically empty.
What would you please suggest? Are there significant differences between the two types of liquids? Dealerships sell Toyota branded fluids, but they are 2x as expensive as any aftermarket. Or I should stick with the Toyota branded fluids?
I also checked rockauto and it has/suggests Mobile 1 power multi vehicle power steering. I think, it says compatible to Dexron III, but not Dexron III. Also, Valvoline max life.
l also, have a spare Lubegard Complete Synthetic Power Steering Fluid #23232. Would this work as well or is better? The label says it is compatible, but it is a "power steering" fluid.
By the way, would Dexron-VI be ok/better to use?
Also, have type of coolant would you suggest? Would any aftermarket work, or it must be Toyota "pink" only?
Thank you
