Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 2008Power Steering fluid?
How often should one change his power-steering fluid? I have 85,000 KMS on my 2003 CR-V. Do I really need to use the expensive OEM dealer fluid or can I get a generic brand? Also, do I just replace what's in the reservoir, or do I need to pump all the fluid out? Thanks! > How often should one change his power-steering fluid? there is no service interval - it have very little work to do and can last the life of the vehicle. list like it says in the owner service manual schedule. > I have 85,000 KMS on my 2003 CR-V.

Use dealer fluid. I disconnect the PS return hose and plug in a 3/8" OD hose. With the car raised just turn the steering wheel. Pumps most right out thanks to other posters. But for most people more frequent drain/refill of the reservoir should work.

What does it say in your owner's manual service schedule? I have yet to see any manufacturer who recommends changing power steering fluid - ever. It can't hurt to change it unless you introduce contamination doing it, but if you don't have some reason to believe that its already contaminated, why bother? > I have 85,000 KMS on my 2003 CR-V.

Its somehow different. > Also, do I just replace > what's in the reservoir, or do I need to pump all the fluid out? > > Thanks! With a CRV, you should be paying more attention to the dual-pump fluid and the brake fluid. They DO need to be routinely be changed. auctioneer websites.
