E90x Power Steering Fluid flush

[bone13]

Hi all,

I have just acquired a 2007 325i E92. Fcuking amazing car.

But I just noticed that the steering wheel was a bit heavy.
Did some research at e90post.com and found that power steering fluid needs changing/flushing, even though its not recommended by BMW.

I just bought some CHF-112 Pentosin from Frank Keane at E25 and going to do full flush of the system following this post here. Looks easy enough.

A lot of people noticed improvement after flushing or replacing the PS fluid.

hi if your oil has been heated it will darken and smell and go a little thin . dextron 2 ATF is normal and dextron 3 is a bit better for tougher conditions and hydraulic oil will give a BIT MORE MUSCLE TO WORN GEARS . regards bugs

So you say it's alright and no need to change it ?
