PSA: Powersteering Fluid

Buy a gear oil hand pump from an auto parts store. They're cheap and you can use them to lube your differential and your tranny (if that sort of thing is your bag baby). I've seen 2 size pump sizes, one the size of a twist off soda top and the other the size of most regular oil bottles. I got the small size so it fits on most gear oil bottles. It is a pita to pump a million times to fill up the diff though. Not horrible, just tiresome. I'll eventually buy an electric pump.

You don't need to be as precise with the fill on the ps fluid...not like the trans,
Just fill it to cold min line, go for a quick drive, pop the hood and add as necessary. The level won't drop because all you are removing is the fluid from the reseviour. The lines and rack are still filled. So just fill it and double check later.
I usually give it some time for the fluid to circulate before doing it again. Takes 5 mins to do

all you guys posting about this "smoother" feeling i really have to do this because i'm pretty sure its a placebo effect, like a lot of things are not.
I did it on my GF lancer, she didn't comment on it at all. Now she might not be the most sensitive person in the world in terms of driving but the way everyone talks about it, it would make sense she would notice it feel a lot better after 60k.
