| Power Steering Flush |

The first quart or so I drained looked like Chocolate syrup coming out of the power steering pump....NASTY!!!! It took about 3 quarts of El-Cheapo power steering fluid then 1 quart of Valvoline synthetic and Walla, no more whining and moaning when I turn the wheel. Judging from the color and condition of the old fluid, I'd say if you have high miles and its never been changed. You cant go wrong by doing This. Its cheap, and very easy. It was a little time consuming, but worth it in the long run.
If you are by yourself as I was, you can disconnect the rubber hose that is clamped onto the metal line right below your oil filter and drain from there. Then just push the hose back on without the clamp and fill the pump, start the car and turn the wheel a few times and turn off and drain from that hose again. Repeat that until your fluid comes out as clear as you'd like it to be. Also, you dont necessarily have to put the cap back on the ps-pump every time, that can be a hassle, It will not spray out. DONT start the car without fluid in the pump though. Also keep in mind that if you start the car with that line of, it will "SPRAY" ps fluid out very quickly and messy. The front of the car should actually be raised because you have to get to the line.
