Default Power Steering Flush

Hello all. Just wondering what your thought are on flushing the Power Steering fluid. Should it be considered regular maint after 100K?

Thanx!

A lot of flushing going on lately.

I siphon the powersteering fluid with standard quarter inch tubing and refill it.

I do it again after a day.

And again after another day.

After that it is good for another 100k.

Doesn't cost more than the price of 2 fluid bottles and a hose.

that would do it, but i'd sugest a turkey baster rather than tring to siphon... personally i'm not worried about it, but for the low cost of doing it yourself, why not. i dont think its worth it if you had to pay a shop though.

A turkey baster is a great suggestion.
