Since my last oil change was done early this year, I will try to change out as many fluids as I can between December and January. Oil change, diff fluid change, any others? Is a PS fluid change necessary?
And of course brake fluid should be changed. In the US every two years. Over here in Germany every year. At least according to BMW.


As for PS fluid... IF I were to change it(it would be at the bottom of my fluid changing List)... I would also buy a new PS reservoir, since the filter is built into the base of the res. I would also use new screw clamps bc the OE ones tends not to seal well, when re-suing them on the old rubber hoses. You will need to bleed the PS system by rotating the rack full lock to lock a few times to get all the air out of the lines. Then recheck the res for fluid.
