I like to do the "turkey baster" power steering change at each oil change. I've been using Maxlife ATF in my Frontier since it calls for Dexron VI, and I couldn't be happier. Our new 4Runner calls for Dexron II or III in the owners manual.
Maxlife says that it's suitable for Dex II, III, and VI applications. I only ask because it has a much lower viscosity than Dex II or III. I know Valvoline put out a statement a while back that it will be fine in a Dex II/III transmission due to shearing of the conventional Dex II/III, but is this also true in a power steering system?
I would like to use the Maxlife since it's what I always have on hand in the garage. Just not sure if it's the best choice here?
Thanks!
