ĦĦĦAttention Attention!!!

ONLY USE DEXRON MERCON 2 transmission fluid in the power steering system in 2001-2006 Lexus LS 430's. I say that for a reason. All you mean fellows can chime in....I know its coming....

Dexron without the T, not Mercon, is the correct fluid.
Dexron and Mercon are two different types of fluid

Dexron = GM
Mercon = Ford

You can use Mercon. I use Supertech Mercon V from Walmart in the power steering.
