ATF very expensive meh? Few little should be more than enough. Can tahan so many years. Why must use brake fluid? Brake fluid is cheap but rough.
Ram me if you can!

Did change my Wira power steering fluid about 4years ago . The machine have an input socket and output socket , new fluid goes in and old fluid comes out at the same time .Process will stop after all the old fluid came out which can be seen as the old fluid will be darker ( dirty ) in colour .When new fluid ( very light in colour ) can be seen coming out the process will stop .No sure how much fluid used ,it's either 2 liter or somewhere between 3 -4 liter ,so long already I have forgotten .Brand of steering fluid : Winn ( US product ) and Cost : RM 120.
PATIENCE !!! PATIENCE !!! PATIENCE !!! IT'LL GET YOU THE BEST WHEN TIME IS RIGHT AND SO WILL BE THE PRICE
