What is the recommended service interval for transmission flushes? Each manufacturer recommends the transmission flush interval for their vehicles; however, most recommend that the transmission is flushed every 30,000 to 50,000 miles.
Do you need to do a power steering flush?
Many cars take power steering fluid, but many use automatic transmission fluid or a variety of other working fluids that cannot be mixed. Anytime you are doing a power steering flush, it is a good time to inspect the seals and hoses in your power steering system for leaks.
What’s the ratio of power steering fluid for STP?
The STP (Super Trak Pak) cars have a 13.5 to 1 ratio and really heat the fluid during performance use! The standard for this fluid is different than the other LX cars from the past in that the old standard was MS-9602.
When to remove power steering fluid from reservoir?
Remove it at the low point in the system. Have a friend start the vehicle while you add power steering fluid to the reservoir to keep it at least ½ full and another friend watches the now open return line. Power steering fluid should flow from that open port into your drain pan as the vehicle runs.
How does a rack and pinion power steering pump work?
This pump pressurizes the power steering fluid which is then carried by a line to a power steering gear box, or a rack and pinion. The steering gear, or rack and pinion, uses this high pressure fluid to help with the motion created by you turning the steering wheel, making it much easier to turn the wheels.

Can a transmission be flushed with too much force?
An already-compromised transmission should not be flushed. If too much force is applied in the flushing process, it can cause debris to lodge in places that could potentially cause problems. When in doubt, ask your Midas technician how to best care for your particular transmission.
How does electro hydraulic power steering improve fuel economy?
Remember that the EHPS systems are really a boon for fuel economy (about 1.5% increase) because electro hydraulic power steering systems deliver power by an electric motor and not the engine directly. This means that the engine load does not change as the power is being delivered by the battery and steering motor.
