Power Steering Fluid? Red + Clear?

[EK1]

Im running low on power steering fluid and went to autobarn to purchase a clear power steering fluid branded Penrite. It was recommended by the sales man.

When i looked the car's power steering fluid (Toyota Camry 2010) the fluid was a light redish color.

So the question is; can i mix the two together since they are different in color?

Also to add: I've checked that it is compatible with my car but not sure if i can mix the old with the new.

edit: after checking the power steering fluid again now it looks like a red-brown colour

I have checked the owner manual and it said automated transmission fluid DEXRON II or III. I have also checked the product manual and it confirms that it is suitable for the car. also the store man said the Penrite power steering fluid he recommended was DEXRON III capable and the only brand he recommends

However, I'm concerned because the color of the stock fluid (that came with the car) and the one purchased is different in color.

take it back and get some castrol powersteering fluid or castrol ATF, they're both red.

Should be alright, but id recommend finding a way to get all the old fluid out and replacing it with new fluid

Go to a toyota dealer, ask for a power steering flush and theres a 50/50 chance that your car will come back with a clear power steering fluid

If you level is low I would suggest you have a leak, How often do you have to top it up?

as ar as i'm aware, the oil placed into the power steering of the Aurion is transmission oil, which i presume is the case with the Camry as well.

Yep its generally the red automatic transmission fluid

Cept some dealerships have wynn's/other brands power steering treatment/flush stuff which they might use instead which is generally clear
