Hi

My power steering fluid needs to be replace. I was wondering if i can
suck out the old fluid from the resevior and pour in new fluid? Will
that work or damage the steering? Th reason is I'm selling the car in a
yr time and do not want to spend a bomb on my already high repair cost.

I'm having a dodge grand caravan 3.3L. Does anyone know what is the
recommended fluid?

Is there a website with shows what to do for DIY changing of power
steering fluid?

Thanks!

You might want to try the    alt.autos.dodge     group.

Why do you think it 'needs' replacing?
IME unless the fluid becomes contaminated in some way, it never needs
changing.
You could certainly suck out, or drain the fluid from the reservoir, but
unless you disconnected one or both of the pipes at the rack or box, and
worked the steering manually with the front wheels raised, most would still
remain in the system.

I was not aware that BMW were in any way affiliated with Dodge Did you
pick this group for a reason?

Dodge is part of Chrysler
Chrysler is part of  Mercedes-Benz
M-B is German
BMW is German

Isn't the logic obvious?
