Alright, I read the Hanes Owners Manual and it says to use Dextron II ATF, but I went to Autozone and only found Dextron III ATF, No Dextron II.

Also, I am using a Volvo Saginaw P.S. pump and a Toyota Mini Truck gear box. So cleverly I went to Barnes and Nobles to see what the respective Hanes manual states. They both stated ATF fluid, but one stated Dextron ATF and the other Dextron II.

I've searched the FJ40 forum for power steering fluid and ATF, and I can conclude that the board suggest Dextron II ATF.

So, my question is, do I go around town looking for Dextron II ATF or will Dextron III ATF surfice?

One other thing. I will be doing some work on the rear differiential and transfer case and the manual states GL4 SAE 90 for Transfer Case and GL5 SAE 90 for Diff. I found some gear oil in 85W-90, 75W-90, and 85W-140, all three showing GL-5 compliant, but none of the gear oil showed GL-4.

Will a GL-5 90 weight surfice in the transfer case, or do I need to be specific?

Thank in advance and I am dying to get this thing on the road with the powersteering.
