I've honestly never thought of doing this but my 79 Firebird that has been laid up for a decade and just got it running again could use this. Of course it has an old Saginaw pump in it so you could fill it Dr Pepper and that SOB is gonna work. As for fluid type, I always told my customers that their owner's manual was a wealth of information and you should always consult that first with such questions.
Those are cool cars! Yeah those pumps are bulletproof. Never had a problem with them, that's why I put one on my Camaro. Exactly. The fluid type is in the manual or if they stopped making it there will be a better version of it. Like Mercon V didn't exist when my truck was made but it does now. Thanks for watching!
Honestly, i just get a syringe and completely suck the reservoir empty- top up the reservoir past fulll- then i turn car on and turn tyres 10 times to the right and left with car running. Then get syringe again suck all the reservoir and then top it up again, and then repeat this a third time. Its something i am going to do every three months- and it is flushing 1 litre of power steering fluid into existing fluid. That way no need for a second person and no need to ever drain your steering rack dry like you did. Its similar when doing a transmission fluid flush.
Would this be best to do before replacing the actual pump, which I plan to do, so that contaminated or old fluid does not flow into the new pump, requiring that I do this after replacing the pump?
I have a 2005 Toyota Avalon about 240 K miles I’m the original owner and it runs excellent butt in gear at idle it has a slight miss and I can’t figure it out. No check engine light and it passed smog check here in California. Any ideas
