Default I did a PAS fluid change today and what a difference

I thought I would share a easy way I found rather than a turkey baster.


I unclipped the return pipe from the top of the reservoir and the inserted a joiner so I could extend the pipe. In my case I used some spare hose pipe. I rana ltr through the system and you could see it getting cleaner.

You have to brim the tank then run to switch the engine off. I found it best to have the window down.

Top up the system using the dipstick then start the engine and go from lock to lock going very slowly to expel any air and thats job done


Didn't intend for it to be a how to guide but if it helps anyone.


I used carlube dexron 3.

On any car every 2 years I believe. Take the cap off the fluid should be cherryade colour if it's really dark or grey you run the risk of blowing seals or the pump from lack of lubrication
