I repaired the leak but had no fluid. The gas station close by only had generic fluid, so I used it and it worked fine.

Suggestion

You would have to un hook the return line from the rack and run the car with the line into a conatiner while adding fresh fluid, being the fluid isnt cheap you will likley want to run 2 qts trhough then let it sit over night till the pentosin sperates from the p/s fluid and sperate them and recycle it a few times

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 1 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was on a long driving trip and developed a leak in the power steering connections. I repaired the leak but had no fluid. The gas station close by only had generic fluid, so I used it and it worked fine. I am home now and want to flush that out and replace it with the proper fluid. How do I flush the old fluid completely out?
