Your 2003 Toyota RAV4 requires conventional Dexron III / Mercon 1 transmission fluid, which is priced at around $6 per quart at local auto shops. Surprisingly, you can use this transmission fluid for your power steering as well, as the engine isn't very particular about the specific type of lubricant. If you're wondering whether you need to refill your power steering fluid, here are some signs to look out for: experiencing difficulty while turning the wheel is a common indication of low fluid levels. Additionally, if you notice loud noises when steering, it's a good idea to check your power steering fluid. Lastly, if you hear a high-pitched screeching sound while steering and you're driving solo, it's another sign that your power steering fluid may need topping up.
