January 2019 notice: This filter is now available only in very limited quantities and may not be readily available in the future. This is why we are not able to include it in our full fluid flush kit ( See related products below) This is an often neglected filter. In fact some owners do not even know it exists. It is well hidden inside the power steering fluid reservoir. You have to remove the cap and spring - then use a pick tool to lift the metal plate out and the filter can be seen way down in the bottom. See the pictures below. Be sure to flush when replacing the filter. Remove the return hose and place in a plastic bottle. Fill the reservoir with new ATF (Dexron III). Have someone help you crank the engine over while you pour new fluid into the reservoir - keep doing this until fresh fluid comes out the return hose. DO NOT LET the reservoir run dry to prevent getting air in the system.
