E60 525D Steering fluid change
Hi all!
I recently checked my steering fluid and i saw it was a little brown. The cap says: ATF Only.
Has somebody done this to his car or could give me tips to do this job?
Thanks

It says ATF because thats the fluid you put in it. I changed my reservoir out and put new fluid in. I am not sure what you are asking for. If you want a DIY I am sure one is posted in the forum.

It depends whether you are draining the whole system or just the
Reservoir
The best way is simply to measure the amount you drain out and you will know the approximate amount to replace
Inside the Power steering reservoir you have a fluid level marker stick attached to the inside lid
You simply fill to the correct maker on that stick
But make sure you run the car for a while after refilling and check again to ensure you have enough fluid replaced

The fluid reservoir contains a non-removable filter in its bottom and if you are going to the trouble to change the fluid you ought to replace the reservoir also.
