DIY Video: Magnefine Power Steering Filter Install
Hello all,
My friend who owns a 2001 GS300 was experiencing some power steering problems. There were all sorts of noises and it really just sounded like the power steering pump was crapping out.
I recommended for him to flush the power steering fluid as a first step, and then take it from there. He decided to go ahead and have me install a Magnefine power steering filter for him and I'm not sure if it was the flush or the filter, but the end result is a very well operating power steering system with no noise
I will post the video up after it is done processing on youtube - stay tuned.

Nothing is lifetime fill. It's normal for the rack, pinion, PS pump, hoses.. all those items to wear as a function of time and use. All that stuff floats around and starts causing problems later down the road. Best thing to do is put one of these on right when you get your new car, and keep it on.
Sure, you can just keep the OEM fluid in there forever, but the performance and exponential wear you will incur is not worth it.

I installed one of these power steering filters on my G35 also:

I'd recommend watching this G35 install to get an idea of how to actually flush the system and get all the air out.

I don't work directly for the company but I keep in close touch with the owner of the company and I stock the product and provide install. I am located in San Francisco.

i use my brake bleeder vacuum system and just flush the fluid every 30k with redline ps fluid. i've been using it in my supra for years and works great in my STi, S13, Seq. how often are these filters replaced?
