After this Cold is over...changing fluids

I'm going to do a complete fluid change after this cold weather is over, and was wondering what power steering fluid is best? I have all my favorites for other, and couldn't find anything on this. Anyone?

AMSOIL UNIVERSAL TRANSMISSION FLUID is my vote, since the fluid called for in power steering is DEXRON. The AMSOIL fluid has always worked fine for me.

BUMP..............

I will need to know for some of the items that toyota won't provide. Such As:

transmission- Amsoil UTF synthetic

steering- AMSOIL UNniversal Transmission Fluid

brake- ATE Super Blue

Unless you think toyota will be fine for the steering and transmission. If they will be good, then i won't need to know, but how about the Brake fluid. How much will i need to do a flush?

why would you flush power steering, brake, and coolant. All three of those are unnecessary(unless you've put water in your coolant in the past)

Only because they are going to change out all of those fluids when i go in for my 90K service. I wanted to upgrade all the fluids to better than OEM if there is anything out there better than running regular toyota fluids. I know there is as far as brake fluid, but i never replaced any of the others with anything than OEM fluids. So if there is anything better than OEM i want to get that and do a complete flush.
