Not bad, assuming it had never been done.
Noticed an oil leak behind alternator area and suspected OFHG leak.
Sure enough:

The gasket cost $5. I also replaced the crank vent hose down to the CCV $15. Oil change $60.
Car has 76k.
At 77K miles, refreshed ATF in power steering reservoir with a quart of Valvoline maxlife Dex/Merc ATF.
I asked my dealership if power steering fluid was a regular replace item and he said he thought it was lifetime fluid. Ugh, I hate when they say that. What's the general rule for it here?
I don't know really what it should be but I figured it was due. It was dark red. I think it is exchanged maybe every 50 K miles?
Mike Miller suggests every 30K.Quote:

I might insist then. Especially if it's dark red. Is it supposed to be clear or something?
Should be translucent red.
