Re: power steering fluid changed

if it turns dark, prolly a good idea to change it. its not officially mentioned in the normal services. im at 90k now and mine still looks new so im not worried yet.

I did mine at 90k/4years. Use a flashlight or work light and shine through the side of the reservoir to see how dark it is.

I could not find it in the maintenance schedule.

I would use my own discretion on this one. If the fluid is dark, then you should change them very soon!! I would help in the near future with your power steering
