can I use Toyota ATF WS on my 07 es350 for power steering fluid?

Hi, Everyone
I have a 2007 es350, 102,000 KM(in Canada), I only changed power steering fluid once before, so I am thinking to change it again.
can I use Toyota ATF WS fluid for power steering fluid? I got a bottle of Toyota ATF.
would it be OK or not a good idea? any suggestions?
thank you
JC

Yes, the ES350 uses Toyota transmission fluid for the power steering. I flushed my system a couple of years ago. This is the method that I used and it worked very well:

ATF Dexron II or Dexron III.

What they said. Toyota WS is too thin for the power steering. You want the older thicker Toyota Type IV ATF, or any Dexron III to Dexron VI ATF such as Valvoline. They no longer make Dexron II or III but you can find Dexron VI (which replaced it) that says it is compatible.
