Lexus Dealership gave me the wrong PS fluid?
About to replace my power steering pump, along with the reservoir and went to the dealership to pick up some steering fluid. I've read on here and the manual that the LS430's take Dextron II/III or ATF fluid. However the dealership gave me a 12fl oz bottle of Johnsons Power Steering Fluid.
Which claims it can mix with other fluids, however looking the bottle over I cannot find anything on it that states what kind of fluid it is, nor any forums of other LS430 owners using this fluid.
Cause I'd hate to go through this who job nearly $1k in parts only for the fluid I use to ruin something.

I looked on their site it gives very little info. If it was me I would not use any of their products since they don't say anything about Dexron compatibility. I use this in everything that takes Dexron or Toyota T-IV great product.

strongly recommend, fantastic stuff will even clean the crud accumulated inside jar
just slurp out old and refill with new.
