Oops KLF, you are right. The power steering fluid spec for my 2001, ES300 does call for Dextron III.

Thanks for pointing out my error.

Went back to the teacher cause the steering was still hard... and found out that it wasent even the fluids, yeah it was leaking but was not the steering problem. They realise that my steering universale joint ( http://cgi.ebay.ca/UNIVERSAL-JOINT-L...item27b6b3a086 ) had dirt accumulated so much for so many years that it was hard enough for me turn. So i got it cleaned and regreased and now steers smoothly as ever! So if yall ever happened to be in the same situation as mine and your fluid aint leaking than maybe check your steering joint saves you alot of time :P
