Default Use toyota t-iv ATF for power steering?

I need to top off my ps, but the manual calls for dex 3..and I have a bottle of t-iv sitting here. Thoughts?

I would not use it. They are very similar, but there must be a reason that they spec out Dextron over he T-IV that was already on the shelf. I have been using Mobil 1 for a long time now and it seems to be the fluid of choice on here.
