the only thing i would buy from toyota would be the super long life coolant.
for tranny oil, any good 75/90 gear oil will work, i like mobil1 synthetic, or syncromesh. any brand PS fluid will be just fine, nothing special needed there. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

PS fluid won't hurt it, but dexron works the same (or better) and can be had cheaper.

Hey so I want to make absolutely sure that I can use actual power steering fluid in my system. I bought valvoline powersteering fluid and didn't remember that the cap says atf until after I broke the seal  so can I get some confirmation? why woudnt I be able to use powersteering fluid? wrong additives? will things corrode? --------------------  |

it won't hurt anything. PS fluid for MOST cars is more or less ATF without the color red. some EUROPEAN cars take a special fluid (CHF11S) and regular fluid will ruin the system.
