I have a 2002 Ford focus with 27K I recently took it to a mechanic for some scheduled maintenance and he said that the power steering fluid was dirty and should be changed. Several things make me wonder if this true:
- I have never changed the power steering fluid on any car I have ever owned in the last 30 years.
- The Ford maintenance manual does not say anything about changing this fluid at any of the regular scheduled service intervals.
- The steering is not making any noise.
Any thoughts on this?
