Default Adding power steering fluid

2009 ES350

Just noticed power steering fluid is at minimum level. On hand, I have Bardahl power steering fluid 5713 for Honda and Acura w/ sealer and conditioner.
Would it be fine for me to add this?

Has your PS fluid ever been changed? The reservoir states to only use Dexton III rated ATF, but if it was changed it might have regular PS fluid depending on who did it. I flushed mine myself with Valvoline Dexron III.

In any case I would top it off with some Dexron III.

Good preventive maintenance practice is to do a PS flush every 50K. Toyota recommends Dexron III ATF. Valvoline MaxLife is compatible.
