93 ls400

ight so as the power steering bible says im having problem number 1 (whining on turns).

so i checked the fluid and it appeared to be bubbly and "soupy" but full, and the dip stick thing was fully covered.

is this normal?

Is it just air in the system? If so, to bleed that out you need to turn the wheel all the way one way, hold it a few seconds, then turn it the other way all the way for a few seconds. Repeat a few times.

that looks like ps fluid and not dexron.

Hmmm...

Just to note, Dextron II / III ATF compatible fluids are used in the Lex for the PS. For everywhere but Cali availability , Mobil 1 ATF is

so if i was to switch to the dextron or mobile atf, how would i go about draining out whats in there?

edit: found it.. will try to drain and put in the dextron

my ls400 has been leaking steering fluid so i have to keep adding like every other week

Dexdron is fine to just add to the p/s it mix's with the old fluid and is compatable you don't have to drain it, but it won't hurt if you do.
