Yes I need to flush, replace, add fluid as I am getting some groaning on full lock....I have a UDP as well.

Thanks for fluid recommendations. I will check the LN site as well

I suppose jacking will bring stagnant fluid out of the rack area but I generally don't ever run the car on stands....can it be purged without running the car?

Not without disconnecting some fluid lines, that I know of. Its no big deal to run the car on stands, you are not going to be getting underneath it.

While you're at it why don't you buy & install the LN Engineering PS cooler
You'll get the RedLine fluid included and you will have to drain all the old fluid ...

Jaykay, If you're in Toronto and go with Pentosin, Pfaff Porsche in Woodbridge sells it for $29/liter. That's half the price NAPA sells it for.

Follow JFP recommendation. Stick with the Pentosin CHF 11. IMHO.
