[Shotimes] Power Steering fluid change

[Paul Nimz]

What I did, after two flushes and still getting dark fluid, was to get a
gallon of WallyWorld ATX fluid.  Once a week I would siphoned the reservoir
down and refill.  I did this for a couple of months till the fluid stayed
clean.  Then I flushed and refilled with good fluid.
