I have always had my car serviced by the dealer that I bought my car from. They seem to always have something that I need to do besides the oil change. I agree to most of them, but some people said that flushing and changeing the powere steering fluid may not be needed. What do you think?

Hi there, the power steering oil will require replacing periodically, the oil will start to break down and it will start to become a dark colour and smell off, changing the oil every 24 months would be a good idea.
