Does power steering fluid need to be changed? I changed mine on my dodge ram 2500 around 60,000 miles and I'm pretty sure I never changed it again until today at 217,000. Sucked out the reservoir with a turkey baster, only got 10oz out of it. I usuall do this like 3 times over a 2 week period of driving, like I did last time at 60k. Anyways, with 150,000 miles on the fluid, it looked fine. It was still red looking at it through the baster, but black once I put it in the glass measuring cup, forgot what you call those. I suspect it still mixed with a little bit of used diesel oil making it darker than it should have been even though I wiped it out good with paper towels, ran out of parts cleaner.
