I've had the AMSoil in my power steering for 3 years now. Since I have the supercharger pulley running off the PS pulley, I was concerned with wear on the PS bushing, so the AMSoil was a preventative measure.

I drained off most of the fluid by disconnecting the hose. I would think 2 drain and refills would replace most of the old fluid.



Let us know what you think about having AMSoil in your tranny, especially if you use e-shift. For me the increased smoothness and quick and crisp shifting was worth the price. I think my tranny is happy and I am too.

I honestly couldn't say, but it's not like the tranny where there's a bunch of fluid remaining in the torque convertor.

If I had to guess I'd say the fluid in the PS reservoir plus in the hoses is probably 90% of the oil. So I'll say 1 quart should suffice.

Another note: other members with my Supercharger set up have killed their PS pump due to the increased belt tension.

I haven't had a problem yet. Knock on wood.
