Flushed my power steering system today. Disconnected return line, drained with motor running, filled, and drained again. Old fluid looked like 4 month old motor oil. New fluid Prestone with stop leak looked crystal clear. Noticed smoother steering response. Probably need to top off after tommorrow.

Hoses just deteriorate with age, wear particles also darken it, as does overheating the fluid, extended agressive driving can really heat up the P/S fluid, I will be flushing mine soon, going back with Amsoil Synthetic ATF fluid.
