hey Tremendous_Slouch: i think i will replace the fluid like you suggested in the other post, quoted above^^. but got some questions:

after suck it out then fill it back, do I need to run the engine, turn the steering wheel, step on the brake etc? then suck out and refill again?

cause my 03 V6 has not had a PS or brake fluid change since buying it new in 2003....

the PS fluid is light brown clear, and brake fluid is clear (like cooking oil)...

do you suggest buying the fluids from Toyota dealer (just to be safe, no compatibility issues)??
