The Lexus GX470 uses a power steering pump to help wheels move smoothly by circulating lubricants around gears and pistons. To ensure optimal performance, the pump should be filled with either Dexron II or IIiATF as stated in the owner's manual. Regularly checking and maintaining the lubricant levels is crucial to prevent damage to the pump and steering hydraulics of the GX470. You can find the power steering reservoir under the hood on the passenger side next to the firewall. It is housed in a long plastic cylinder under a cover that is usually marked with symbols or letters for easy identification. If you hear whining or high-pitched noises while turning the wheel, it may indicate that the steering system needs attention.
