Here's why:
* Vehicle Specific Requirements: The correct steering fluid for your Camry depends on the year, model, and specific steering system. Toyota uses different types of steering systems (power steering, electric power steering) and the fluids are not interchangeable.
* Potential Damage: Using the wrong fluid can damage your steering system and lead to costly repairs.
Here's what I suggest:
1. Check your owner's manual: The manual will specify the exact type of steering fluid required for your Camry.
2. Consult a Toyota dealer: They have the most up-to-date information and can recommend the right fluid for your vehicle.
3. Look at the steering fluid reservoir: There may be a label on the reservoir indicating the type of fluid needed.
Always use the recommended fluid for your specific Toyota Camry. It's the safest and most reliable way to keep your steering system working properly.
