How Often Does It Need Changed

[KILLER1]

Hi ya i have had my Lexus for nearly a year its been a great car.

I was going to get my car serviced soon and i was wondering how often does the powersteering fluid need changed.

Also do many people change the gear box oil or best just to leave alone....

how do u change the power steering fluid anyway?

[whiteman]

can't remember now how I did the powersteering fluid, I think I took one of the pipes at the bottom off to get most of the fluid out while the engine was running and then put the new in and drained it a few times to make sure the old was out.....cleaned the fluid bottle as it was very dirty as you could not see the level very clearly.... all sorted now

depends if you have a auto or a manual

Auto oil change 60k-pain in the azz to change

Manual oil change 40k- easy to change
