What Power Steering Fluid
In searching the forum, it seems that the consensus on what power steering fluid to use in our LS is Dextron III or IV. Would everyone agree thats correct for a 1998 LS400?
Thanks,

Somehow my power steering fluid post bleeds into this unrelated post on transmission fluid (I agree that only use type.IV in our transmissions)

I did a fluid exchange with Valvoline max life. Basically sucked out the old fluid in the reservoir 4-5 times after filling it and starting turning lock to lock, then repeating until I saw it change to a nice red color.

Hope this is useful for you: I use this item to suck out the oil, takes 10 seconds, and gets the oil out from in the middle of the hole in the reservoir. I change mine every oil change, i.e. every 5K miles.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Got it done with your help. Much appreciated! And Just FYI, I called my dealer parts guy and he said to use anything that said Power Steering Fluid. Bad advice in my opinion. I bought a Prestone product that listed Lexus among others. Thanks again. Project complete!
