Default Power Steering Fluid

ĦĦĦAttention Attention!!!

ONLY USE DEXRON MERCON 2 transmission fluid in the power steering system in 2001-2006 Lexus LS 430's. I say that for a reason. All you mean fellows can chime in....I know its coming....

That is all...

Dexron without the T, not Mercon, is the correct fluid.
Dexron and Mercon are two different types of fluid

Dexron = GM
Mercon = Ford
Otherwise it's the same stuff!

You can use Mercon. I use Supertech Mercon V from Walmart in the power steering.
