[Shotimes] Power Steering fluid change

[Paul Nimz]

After the cheap stuff stayed clean, I took the PS cooler hose off and put it
on a bucket.  Then had a helper start the car and work the wheel from side
to side while I poured 2 qrts of synthetic ATX into it.  I used Mobil 1 on
the '93 and Redline or Amsoil on the '97.
