You don't really need to change it unless you change the pump or it smells/looks burned.
If you want to change it when you change your tranny oil, then do it. It's just a ***** to change because you have to bleed the system.<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/kefkafloyd\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/kefkafloyd</a> <br />Red 1997 Pontiac Firebird 3.8L A4 w/ Y87

Yep, you could drain it that way. Just be very sure not to get any dirt in there. When you have refilled it do the following:
Jack up the front wheels of the car
Remove the cap on the PS Fluid tank
Turn the wheels stop to stop around 10 times
Check level in PS Fluid tank
Run the wheels stop to stop for another cycle of 10
Check/top off fluid once more
You are good to go!1997 Cayenne Red Metallic Camaro<br />3.8 V6 M5<br />SLP Cold Air Intake<br />Ceramic Coated Pacesetter Headers <br />Flowmaster American Thunder Catback<br />Full 3.42 & Disc Break Rear End Swap

A great additive is made by "Lubegard" their power steering additive converts GM spec fluid to the more stringent Honda type fluid.Lubegard is known the world over for excellant additives that GM for one use & endorse.I changed my fluid for good measure & bought Lubegard P/S at Napa,Pep boys also have it...geocor
