Most vehicles, including the 2000 Toyota Avalon, typically use automatic transmission fluid for their power steering systems. For the Avalon, it's best to use DEXRON-II or DEXRON-IIi ATF. It's recommended to choose a reputable brand that meets the standard requirements, though the differences between brands are minimal and there's no need for a specific brand. While the DEXRON standard is somewhat flexible for the '00 Avalon, users have reported using various fluids like Mercon V, Royal Purple, and M1 ATF without issues. The key is to avoid mixing different fluids in the power steering system, so if you're unsure of what's currently in there, it's better to perform a complete drain and fill rather than just topping off.
