speedkar made a great video on this:
...after you're done the fluid should be up to the COLD MAX mark. HOT MAX after driving around and using P/S for a bit.
That Prestone stuff is a ripoff, just use ATF. Toyota systems of this era just spec the same Dexron III that goes in the ATF. I use the Valvoline MaxLife that I put in the trans, works great. If your P/S system is whining even with the proper level, a thicker fluid might help (Like Walmart's SuperTech Mercon V).
