I have never had the power steering fluid changed on our 95 940T with about 90K miles. Interestingly, the manual doesn't have a change interval listed, but after 8 years it seems to me it should be changed.

I read the FAQ but am worried about getting the return hose off and potentially breaking the fluid resevoir. Could I use a turkey baster to suck out the fluid from the resevoir and replace with the Mobil 1 ATF. Then run for a minute until the resevoir has filled with the old fluid again and repeat. I am sure there would be more mixing on the old and new fluid then if I just removed the return line, but this seems a lot easier/safer, and I could probably get most of the old fluid out. Maybe I would repeat again in a couple of weeks?

Any thoughts?
