I didn't have pulsing in my steering but I ran 3oz of AutoRX thru my power
steering system after I had flushed it 2-3 times and the fluid was still
turning dark colors. After 1300 miles on the AutoRX I flushed once more and
it has been perfectly clean since, and that was 10k ago. I also used plain
old $4.77 per gallon Walmart Mercon III ATF. Amsoil synthetic is going in
there when I get back from the convention.
