Automatic transmission fluid DEXRON II or III

From the owner's manual. This is the OEM spec for your car — your owner's manual is the final word.

We don't stock a reviewed power-steering fluid matched to this car yet. Search the fluid type on Amazon — and double-check the OEM spec on the bottle against your manual before you buy.

Where this came from
  • 2018 Toyota 4Runner Owner's Manual (OM35B46U) — 8-1 Specifications, Steering (corroborated by the identical fluid-check procedure in 6-3 Do-it-yourself maintenance, same document) — source

The fluid type comes from the owner's manual or OEM parts catalog. We give it our verified badge only when a second, independent source — the factory-fill fluid part number — agrees with the manual; otherwise we label it honestly as a single-source OEM spec. Either way, your owner's manual is the final word, and the wrong fluid can harm the system, so match the spec before you buy.
