    normal turkey baster wont work unless its small, it funnels into a small opening so you need a narrow nosed syringe to get to the lower portion of the reservoir and screen

    So I noticed the "power steering whine" about a week ago when temps started to get colder here in Clarksville, TN. I checked the reservoir after a drive into work and found that there is virtually NO fluid in the reservoir. I've got just under 75k miles on my 2017 Tacoma...and the power steering pump was just replaced back in May of this year (at the 65k mile service) because a leak was found in the system. I will check the reservoir again in the morning before I start the truck, but I just found that a bit odd.

    See my build page!
    Anyone use AMSOIL ATF for their power steering fluid? About the same price as OEM.
