Thumbs up Poor Man's Power Steering Oil Change

You will need these things:
- a couple qts of DexronIII tranny fluid (that's what factory used).
- a turkey bayster (looks like a giant eye dropper) from the grocery store (or Dollar Store).
- a 6" piece of 3/8" fuel line to put onto the bayster tip.
- a small bucket or pan.

Now, with the engine off, stick the fuel hose (on the end of the bayster) down into the P/S (power steering) resevoir. Suck up old oil into the bayster with one squeeze of the bulb. Remove hose and squirt old oil into pan.

Repeat this until you can't get any more old oil out.

Fill resevoir to full line (approx 3/4 full) with new DexIII oil.

Do this again after a day or 2 of driving. Then again in a week or 2.

This proceedure will dilute the oil already in there (in the pump, and rack), then after 3 times, it will have removed most of the old oil.

After this, you can do the proceedure just one time (not 3) every 6-12mo. to keep it fresh.

**Dispose of old oil in accordance with local laws. (I had to say that).**
