I'm thinking of changing the power steering fluid in my 3.0r-b liberty, as it doesn't seem to be a serviceable item.
What type and brand should I use?
How do you flush / change it?
I would appreciate any advice!

Thanks for the links, I'm still a bit unclear though on what type to use.
Some say use DX III auto transmission fluid, I presume this:

Nah, just use ATF fluid.
If you want it last abit longer, get synthetic oil.

Castrol TQ-DIII
just buy a 5L bottle for about $30. (in a red bottle Dexron III spec)
it's good to have extra on hand and it can also be used to flush manual transmissions when doing a fluid replacement.
