Power Steering Flush advice (2001 Intrpeid 2.7L)

    1) What method should I use to replace the entire volume of PS fluid ? I
    realize that changing just what is in the reservoir is not enough.

    2) What fluid should I use to replace the original ? I've seen random
    discussions here about synthetic is OK; synthetic is not OK; use only
    Mopar; use anything.

    Thanks in advance

    Use ATF+4 as DC currently recommends. Disconnect one end of return
    line, start it up, add new fluid while old fluid drains into catch
    bucket; having helper turn steering wheel from lock to lock a couple of
    times during that process.

    Thanks Bill.

    That method is pretty much what I was thinking about after eyeballing
    everything, but I wanted some reassurance. There's quite a healthy
    flow through that little reservoir when it's running.

    Much appreciated....Phil
