Power steering Fluid Flush

Hi all.
My 05 coupe just passed 50k miles, so I was looking for PSF flush.
One of the dealer I called told me that they do not recommend the flush
and will not do the flush...

Is it true? I do not need to worry about PSF at all for 100k miles?
I checked the color of PSF, it looked like amber and brown.. not black though

Also, I haven't done ATF fluid change at all.. Should I do flush or just drain?

Thx

I think the dealer is probably a little confused. Maybe what they thought is you wanted to run a solvent flush through your power steering system, and that indeed is a "no-no."

The kind of flush you want to do is just run 2 - 3 qts of fresh ATF through your power steering system with the engine off and the wheels off the ground. Simply disconnect the return line from the lowest point, let the fluid drain out... just watch my video on the procedure. The video shows how to add an in-line power steering filter also (for much reduced rack wear), but you could follow the flush procedure at the end without installing the filter.
