Are you sure new PS fluid is red ?

I recently had to add some PS fluid to my old e39... and it was dark grey IF I remember right. The fluid was from Pentosin. You always want to replace the PS resivior bc it has a non replaceable filter built into its base. Also use some sand paper to smooth out the poor plastic castings on the new res and use NEW hose clamps.

BavAuto has put together this nice DIY video on how to change one's (on a e39!) PS fluid.
