I checked my power steering fluid today and it was absolutely black, so I proceeded to do a flush on the system. I Remove the ignition coil fuse to disable the vehicle. I disconnect the power steering return hose. Attached an extension hose between the power steering return hose and an empty container. Then turned the steering wheel from stop-to-stop while cranking the engine until the fluid exiting the power steering return hose came out clear and red (which took 10 Lt). After reattaching everything, I topped up the reservoir and went for a 15 min drive. When I got back I checked the fluid level again and it was a solid red colour almost milky red. My question is; Why is it this colour? Is there millions of tiny bubbles in there that make it look milky? Will it clear up after a few days? Has anyone else who has flushed there system out this way had this experience?
