You NEED PS fluid? it's low? If so DEFINITELY do what I said. read this entire thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...s-one-out.html

Symptoms of PS fluid blowback are crappy idle, power loss, blue smoke, etc......

Cause: bad regulator check valve (post 41 forward)

ATF = auto trans fluid

I really don't understand why but that's what the manual calls for.
