Q: Power Steering fluid change
Hi, I think it's the time to change the power steering fluid. There are no noise and my sterring is feeling hard I just want to change it. I have attached a video and can you see and tell me if that is the procedure I have to follow to change the power steering fluid. Also do I have to change the reservoir?? Or I can just keep the old one? Thanks
