Default Power steering fluid replacement

< I use a baister and synthetic trans fluid, you will get most and can
<< do it twice, but noise means its probably to late.

I'm for the baster procedure in changeing P/S tank.

Last weekend I changed the ( rear ) end fluid with the syn-blend . Is it
alright to add leftover blend to the already blackened fluid of the P/S
reservoir ? Wondering when I gradually change it, that somethin my go wrong.
At this time nothing is making noise.

black is bad, oil is full of particles from wear, change it.

I suspect the original fill in the PS system is NOT Dexron ATF. Toyota
probably used some standard PS fluid. Since Dexron III has a severe
service life of about 30K miles, do flush it every 2 years/30K miles.
Should help the PS system.

You can do repeated changes in the reservoir. Like every oil change or
everyother change. Just takes longer. Takes more fluid and changes,
because you mix new and old. Works too. Done that.
