Okay. How do I confirm that it is good or bad?

(Part 1 necessary part) remove it, blow air through it, it should not go through on both sides.

I don't much about cars but at least one of the dashboard lights is to asking you to check your wiper fluid levels.

1. Please what exact Power Steering fluid can I use for my 08 Lexus ES350. I have been seeing a lot of DEXTRON brands, but I'm not sure of which one to buy.

2. Can I just top up the Power Steering Fluid instead of going through the extra stress of draining before refilling, because I am not sure of the last used brand, and I'm not sure if two Power steering brands can be mixed together.

Buy something from a known brand, I use Valvoline.

Top up will just be small quantity. Except you have a leak and you'll be topping off Frequently.

You!

Rotate your tyres (front to back) every 5k miles or less if you do mostly city driving. Tyres have been on the front wheels for too long

Thanks for your input.

Yes I know of the door and seat belt. It's the other 3lights am talking about... Pls who knows the first one?

The 2nd is ABS and the 3rd is check engine.

Pls what's the implication of driving with ABS light on?

What does check engine light really mean??

Oga Gazzuz, Sienna and other gurus that understand should please comment

Thats a 4runner 2000 model, limited version.

scan vehicle for the check and abs.

For the first light from the left, it's the windshield washer low on fluid.

For a car this age may the force be with you

Your tyres will look this rough
1. If you drive regularly through unpaved roads,
2. If you drive regularly through construction sites
3. If you do not rotate your tyres when due. I suspect those are your front tyres.

They chip more because they steer while the rear tyres mostly roll.

Unrelated to transmission. Possibly a blocked pickup strainer filter inside gear.

Drain the transmission oil and refill with fresh fluid.

Do it when cold
