ValGem Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 My 2010 Camry has 62,000 miles on it and the mechanic at Midas recommends changing the power steering fluid because the car has more than 50,000 miles on it. I have had no problems with the steering. Do I need to have the fluid changed (at a cost of $100) at regular intervals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggolden Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I don't believe so. I did not see this in the Toyota Owner's Manual. If the manufacturer does not recommend it, and there are no warning signs, LEAVE IT ALONE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danodano7 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Changing fluids on a regular interval is always a good idea. Look for a shop that offers BG products These products extend the life of all fluids and mechanical parts these fluids touch. Go to BGfindashop dot com. Shop around for the best price. Remember to flush your brake system every 3 years. Doing so prevents moisture from forming and causing havoc with your calipers. While you are at it, drain the transmission fluid via the drain plug starting at 50-60,000 miles and then every 30,000 miles or every 2 years, which ever comes first. When refilling buy the best auto transmission (synthetic) fluid you can afford, and add BG ATC each time. Doing this will extend the life of your transmission. Finally, I have been using a full synthetic engine oil with great results. I change the filter at 5,000 miles and then engine oil and filter at 10,000 miles. I have been buying my Full Synthetic engine oil at Wal-Mart for all of my vehicles for years and have never had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
