Default What is the exact power steering system fluid capacity ?

Ive looked and also tried the search function for the PS capacity and come up empty handed, does anyone know the total amount of fluid in the system?
The PS canister holds 250 mL and I have made 3 fluid changes so far, I am trying to calculate how many changes to get to a 90% new fluid content. I am using Valvoline synthetic ATF Dexron.
Thanks for your help

I looked in the service manual and on Shop Key. Nothing mentions a fluid capacity. Even when changing or rebuilding the entire pump, it just says "Add ATF Dexron II or III" to the indicated fill line, depending on the temperature.

One person on the LS430 forum indicated the capacity for PS fluid is 1.1 qt.....
