Hi all:
Does anyone know if power steering fluid "circulates" within the reserovir such that it is turned over with the rest of the fluid in the system? The reason I ask, is that I would like to refresh the fluid by removing the contents of the reservoir with a turkey baster and then fill it with fresh. But I didn't know if that would do anything and if the fluid in the reservoir is more or less stagnant and I wouldn't be accomplishing anything. I know that a true flush involves removing hoses and the like but I was hoping to avoid that by using this technique, driving the car, and then performing it again. The dealer did do a complete flush a few years ago and I just want to stay on top of this maintenance item.
Thanks
