Re: Power Steering Fluid recommendations?

I use the Justice Brothers Power Steering Flush and Treatment that we have at work. I use an air vacuum bottle (You hook an air line to it, and it creates a vacuum to let you suck fluids out and such, great for changing brake fluid) and first suck the old fluid out of the reservoir, then I remove the return hose (A bit tricky on the SVX, I use lots of silicone spray and slide the hose over off the reservoir). I then cap the bung coming out of the reservoir, and connect the vacuum bottle to the hose I just disconnected, and then I turn on the suction and add the JB fluid to the reservoir, until the fluid I'm drawing back out turns red. Then I hook the hoses back up, wipe up any fluid that leaked, and top of the reservoir.

I haven't done it to my SVX yet but I did it to my wife's T Leg and it seems to have helped.
