It's not a bad idea to do so. But for the actual procdure I'm not sure on the 7thgens. I think it's one of those 100k mile or 10 year type of things. Basically I just check it every now and then, if starts looking realyl black, I think about changing it, or if it makes PS unit starts making funny sounds. I normally just get a baster and suck the oil in the resivor out as much as I can and then add new stuff in, turn the car on and turn the wheel a little, which brings up old stuff, then repeate the steps untill it looks clean after I turn the car on.

How much P/S?

How much P/S fluid do I need for a change? How much does Honda sell the fluid?
