Atf Dexron Ii Or Iii?

[limited4wdman]

Hello:

A silly newbie question:

Im going to refill my power steering fluid and the manual says DEXRON II OR III and then on the Power Steering Cap it says USE DEXRON ATF.....

What does ATF stand for? Is it Automatic Transmission FLuid ???

What would be a good name brand to use?

My truck is a 2005 Limited 4WD V6.

Thank you for your help.

Yes toyotas use automatic transmission fluid for the power steering. I have a leak on my rav so i have to fill once a week so i use the cheap advance auto parts store brand, seems to work ok, i dont have any problems with it.

Transmissions are expensive, I use Red LIne D4.
