Default Power Steering Flush
Hi - Does anyone know how to flush the Power Steering fluid? I have an 03 w/ 85K miles & the fluid is so dark. Also, what a good fluid to replenish? Thanks in advance.

OE fluid.
Drain, refill....if you want to get fancy, drain reservoir, fill w/ new fluid, drive car a bit, drain fluid, refill.....do this as many times as you'd like...it hasn't shown to be necessary.
