1996 Lexus ES300 Power Steering Fluid Change!
Hi guys,
My power steering fluid level is low and I want to add some ATF to it. Problem is I don't know what kind of fluid and brand in it right now. If I buy Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF and add to current fluid, is there going to be any problem?
Thanks!

I asked to mechanic and he checked reservoir and gave me a Peak brand, green color one. I filled to top(full line) with pure coolant because it was almost empty.

I would recommend sticking with the Toyota brand coolant, it's a Red color. There is also a pink version that is already pre-mixed, it's for cars 2000 and above. The red coolant costs about the same as Prestone or any other brand, and I even found it at CarQuest (an auto parts store).

I know this thread is a little old and you may have already replaced the PSF, but I followed this tutorial yesterday and didn't have any problems. I also used Mobil 1 ATF.
