I want to change my power steering fluid. I got my 2906 Toyota Sienna at about 116k miles and now I’m at around 160k. I have no idea if it’s ever been changed, but I think it’s pretty dark and is slightly lower than it should be.

I was going to drain it out with a turkey baster like I see online, but I’m wondering if it would be best to have a shop flush it since it is so old.

Please let me know if there is any value to spending the $150 to get it done professionally vs the cost of the fluid and baster for doing it myself.

Thank you!

    It’s one of the easiest home projects imo. If you have a pump extractor it’s substantially easier, you can also use a turkey baster and jack stands to turn the wheels to push the fluid back into the rez.

    Also you probably have a leaky power steering rack, I’d check that out heh
