Need the model year of your LS430, especially for the transmission fluid.

Mobil 3309 is the same as Toyota T-IV ATF fluid

ATF for PS fluid - Use 3309 or synthetic mobil 1 atf

differential any 75w-90 - popular one is Mobil 1

For the differential:
I am not sure this applies to the 01-03 model years, but it does for the 04-06.
There may me a tag attached to the differential requiring synthetic oil.
