Tagging along, my car is an 09 coming up on 60k miles so probably overdue.

When I first got the car, I just sucked my PS fluid out with a turkey baster, drove the car 500mi and did it again. I now have and oil suction pump that I use to change the oil and suck out the PS res dry. I change my PS fluid a min of once a year, I use Redline D4 100% sythetic trans fluid (Per Redlines reccomendation for the 2010 XF).


This is pump I have, slow for oil but works well. You attach it to the tube under the oil fill cap to suck the oil from the engine in the AJ 5.0..
