Hey guys
I’ve slowly been trying to baseline my fluids on my new to me LX 470. During my oil change last week, I went ahead and did a power steering flush.
The fluid in the reservoir beforehand appeared to be clear/light yellow, so i figured it may be regular PS fluid. I wanted to get ATF in there.
I was at a Toyota Dealership and told them I specifically wanted the Toyota ATF Dexron III fluid. Advisor I talked to seemed like he got it. Said he knew guys who would put PS fluid in without even knowing it took ATF.
Anyway, turns out they used Wynn’s ATF Power Steering Fluid and Conditioner.
I found out because I reached out to the advisor to make 100% sure on what fluid they used so I could get some and have here just to top off or in case of emergency. He said they use Wynn’s on all Toyota’s and Lexus there and he personally uses on his old Toyota’s.
The vehicle is driving great. Turns feel smoother to me than they did before.
Curious if anyone has any insight on the Wynn’s fluid and if it’d be ok to top off with Toyota ATF of anything similar? Or if anyone would be against even having that in their rig? I’ve looked online and can’t find much info on Wynn’s fluids.
Thanks
