to replace and renew the fluid frequently
Once replaced, I simply suck out the old (4 autox events) fluid with a
turkey baster from the ps resevoir and refill with new fluid.
Simple, yes?

One problem not mentioned is that if you eat a pump you need to
flush the steering box and any cooler you may have inline. If you
don't the particles from the destructing pump will take out the
new pump within a very short time. To flush simply disconnect the
return line and turn over the engine with the starter motor (don't
start engine) and just add fluid until the fluid coming out of the
return line is clear and clean.......Mason Jar works well for catching
the fluid and seeing when it runs clear and clean.
