Default Power Steering Fluid

The repair manual for my 1993 GS300 specifies ATF-Dexron II for power steering fluid. Since it is no longer made, what is currently recommended?

Valvoline Maxlife Dex/merc, you can find it at any walmart.

Or Toyota 00718ATF00 dexron II/III which you can get at any toyota dealership for about 12 bucks a quart.

Thanks, Joe. I knew you would know. Went with the Valvoline. I replaced the fluid in the reservoir using a turkey baster fitted with a 3" extension tube to be sure I reached the bottom. Even though the old fluid was dark brown, I hadn't been experiencing any problems. Glad I finally got to change it.
