Question Power steering fluid Lexus RX300, year 2005

Hi All,

Greetings from Scotland!

My Lexus has developed a leak from the power steering system. I have identified the problem and it seems that a return hose has a leak. I am about to replace it soon, but was wondering what kind of fluid I should use. On the cap it says ATF. Is it best to buy the fluid from the local main dealer or am I safe to put something like this:

or: https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-906-mot...eering%20Fluid

I know that for coolant one needs to use Toyota Long Life, but I have been wondering if it is ok to use a non-lexus/Toyota brand for the power steering.

Many thanks
