If you're near the 60K maintenance mark, I would go ahead & change it - mine was pretty dark, as with most others if you search around on here.

I purchased a small hand pump from Harbor Freight to do it - made it easier for me.

Ok I just didn't see it in the maintenance manual is more of a preventive maintenance for rwd .What's the worse thing that can happen? Thanks
