hydraulic fan oil and filter

[Dan Williams]

Yes, mine is so clear that I wonder if it
is 10w-30 motor oil. But still my owners manual says in one place to
change it every six months and in another place to change it every oil change,
which would be twelve months. Does your manual also mention changing it?

Dan: I have run my oil in the power steering for more
than 6 years

without a problem. Oil still looks clear and clean.
