Hello,
I recently purchased a 2002 Camry with 102k miles. It had been impeccably maintained at the same Toyota dealership since new. Now that i own it will be doing all of the maintenance and repairs from here on out. A question i have is about the p/s fluid. The dealership uses a product made by justice brothers for their power steering service. I know that factory toyota fluid is a clear/yellow fluid yet the cap calls for dexron. The jb stuff they(local Toyota dealership) uses is this: justice brothers and it also is a clear/yellow color. The bottle says "HA TYPE" which i wonder if that means honda acura? Is this a mistake on the dealership/justice brothers reps. part or is it good for Toyota's too?
Next question is should i continue to use the ha type jb fluid or switch to a dexron fluid? I do know that particular dealership has used that same fluid for a looong time and there seem to be no problems with it.
Would love to hear any insight or opinions on using honda type fluid in a Toyota system and any repercussions of switching away from a Honda fluid in a vehicle with that has been using it for 50k+ miles.
Thanks
Dan
