Power Steering fluid?

How often should one change his power-steering fluid?
I have 85,000 KMS on my 2003 CR-V. Do I really need to use the expensive
OEM dealer fluid or can I get a generic brand? Also, do I just replace
what's in the reservoir, or do I need to pump all the fluid out?

Thanks!

 

there is no service interval - it have very little work to do and can
last the life of the vehicle. list like it says in the owner service
manual schedule.

honda brand - generics wreck the special [long lasting] honda seals.

best leave it alone.

 

Use dealer fluid. I disconnect the PS return hose and plug in a 3/8"
OD hose. With the car raised just turn the steering wheel. Pumps most
right out thanks to other posters. But for most people more frequent
drain/refill of the reservoir should work.

 

What does it say in your owner's manual service schedule? I have yet to see
any manufacturer who recommends changing power steering fluid - ever. It
can't hurt to change it unless you introduce contamination doing it, but if
you don't have some reason to believe that its already contaminated, why
bother?

If you change it, only use the Honda stuff. Its somehow different.

With a CRV, you should be paying more attention to the dual-pump fluid and
the brake fluid. They DO need to be routinely be changed.
