This is such a clear and concise video, great job. I always refer back to it when changing out the PAS fluid on our cars. One tip I’d suggest is to mark the change date on the reservoir. I use a marker pen on the metal case. Not only is it a useful reminder for yourself, but if you need to take your motor into a shop, it provides a heads up to the technician that you’re someone who looks after their car.

This is a really good idea and tool. Even the lawnmower engine oil - it is messy and heavy to turn a lawnmower upside down (mine didn't have a drain plug - or not that I could see). And great video - straight to the point, no yelling, and no rap "music"

Silver Cymbal, I've looked at a few KZread videos today, 3/31/22. I have to write that your procedure appears to be the best that I've watched and seems to get good results. I will try this on my '12 Chrysler 200 Touring convertible in the next few weeks as the power steering fluid has not been changed yet and the car has 67,000 miles. Thanks for your video.

Our 2005 Pilot began squeaking at times, then more often. Got my jacks and jack stands ready to use the next morning, then it rained for days. So I got a pump like yours, but the one that you can add an air compressor to, only because it was on sale and cheaper than your model last week. The 3/8 ID clear tubing was too tight, so I bought some black 3/8 ID transmission tubing, fit perfectly. It was tight down there, and I have huge hands. So I bought some rubber plugs for the tube and they worked great. It was easy as you made it look, but I think that I used too much fluid because I wasn't as vigilant and didn't notice when it first got clean. Thank you for sharing!

I do it a different way. Takes a little longer but you avoid disconnecting hoses! I suck out the reservoir with a turkey baster that I bought just for that purpose. Then refill. Run the engine 5 or 10 minutes, shut it off. Repeat the sucking again. Run engine again. Etc. Sometimes I just do it over a period of hours or even days, since it is so easy to do. You can easily determine when you are done sucking and refilling - the sucked fluid, will be the same color as the new fluid. Or just keep doing it until you've gone through all your new fluid... two quarts ought to be more than enough. Why do I do it my way instead of OP's way of disconnecting hoses, because with my way there no chance of accidentally running the PS pump with no fluid in it. And because, every time you remove a hose when you don't have to, there's a possibility it may not reseal again. I feel that hoses that don't leak should be left alone.

Thank you a bunch for an informative video! So you leave fresh transmission fluid in the reservoir?

Ear plugs work well to plug the reservoir. Get a small container to catch the fluid, unplug the return line from the reservoir and jam an ear plug in. Than stick the return line into a empty water bottle. Go lock to lock, add fluid. Repeat until clean fluid starts coming out. In a few days you could do it again if you want. $6-7 is what 1L of dextron costs. No need to overcomlicat with vacuum pumps or turkey basters and extra hoses.

Here's what I did and this was an accident. I was changing out my power steering pump and I forgot to hook up my high end pressure hose on my civic. It's the hose that screws into the top part of the P/S pump. Well I started my car and the pressure blew off the hose from the pump and the power steering shot out of it like a water fountain. I didn't realize it until about 5 seconds after I started my car. Every single drop came out of the power steering system. I had to clean up the mess but it drained out completely. I added one bottle of P/S fluid after I hooked everything back up and the reservoir sucked it down. I added 2 bottles to fill the system back up. After all that I gotta say my steering is butter smooth.
