Sorry, hope i wasn't giving stupid answers. The picture is specifically from the Toyota/Lexus FSM. The OP possibly found a place where someone was hosting that specific procedure and screen shot that, or maybe it's even a screen shot from the Toyota website.
Here's a thread on how to get you own copy of the FSM.

I found this while digging around about other AHC related things. It's a known issue on this forum, but I hadn't seen a Lexus TSB about it before. I searched the forum for the TSB and couldn't find it posted. So here it is. It's specific to the tube near the rear axle that rusts and leaks fluid.

I'll be going on a long road trip soon and as part of my vehicle check over, I popped off the AHC cover to see how the reservoir level looks. Its a little hard to tell, but the fluid looks to be around the Min mark when it is in "Normal" mode (pic attached). Its a little difficult to see with the lighting and the area definitely could use a cleaning. Would this level concern you?
The AHC fluid was replaced by the dealer around 30k miles ago. I'm trying to decide if I should top it off or if you really need to go through a full bleed/flush process if you add any fluid to the system. I have not experienced any errors or driving issues. The system seems to be running fine as far as I can tell.

You can top off. Make sure any fluid you use is clear and doesn’t have blobs in it.
Where is everyone getting AHC fluid at the moment? I live in Indy and called all the local shops around here and no one has the 1qt bottles (08886-81221) in stock and say it’s been discontinued and the 2.5L metal cans (08886-01805) are on backorder with no ETA. I did find that Lakeland Toyota has the 1qt in stock via ToyotaPartsOverstock, so I ordered but no ETA.
I checked my reservoir yesterday and I’m at the MIN line in Low and can’t see any in the reservoir in Normal, I’m afraid to get air in the system or to run the pump dry.

I needed fluid too for an upcoming globe change and spacer install. I ordered from PartSouq Auto Parts Around the World - https://partsouq.com/, shipping wasn't cheap though...
Is there a manufacture date on the can? How can we ensure the fluid is not contaminated?
The particulates may be one visual indicator, but what’s to say “clean” fluid actually meets spec?
For 2x of the metal cans, the total with ~$80 shipping is still cheaper than what my dealer quoted me ($67/can + tax).
I was going to dump it in a mason jar to check for contaminates, do you think it’s not worth the risk?
I don’t think it’s worth the risk personally.
If you don’t lift or engage 4lo, it will only lower so should have no issue. Maybe only coming from speed to normal at an extreme angle would be an issue but even then it should use the accumulator instead of reservoir for that small amount.
Thank you! Should I turn off the kneel feature where it drops to Low when parked? Less movement the better in this case?
Can’t hurt
Has any one experienced a sudden dip in their front end while stopped at a red light? I've been driving around a couple of in neutral and noticed the front end dip a few times while stopped at a red light, always have the car in N position, it lowers and rises no problem as intended. These intermittent dips have me a little worried, I had a pre purchase inspection completed at the Lex dealership and they noted everything was tip top. 2010 LX with 224k miles currently.

I don't think we know?
My cans are stamped "1818DNSC" if anyone can interpret that LMK! I ordered 2 cans from partsouq on Jan 17, 2022.
