Flush Without Success

...

WHEN my 18-month-old Toyota LandCruiser 200 diesel was in for its 40,000km service, the dealer wanted $106 to flush and replace the power steering fluid. There's no mention of that, even at 200,000km. Is the dealer having me on?

TOYOTA says ``there is no recommended periodic replacement of the power steering fluid unless there is some contamination in the fluid''. Talk to your dealer and ask if there's any contamination that may cause him to want to replace the fluid.
