On September 6, 2016, I wrote the article "Adding inline power steering filter with system flush" and posted it in 24 valve 2ed generation/Axles, Suspension & Brakes. This is the follow up to that article.
Update...7/25/2025
It has been 8years 9months and 44,888 miles since I installed the Magnefine filter and flushed the power steering system, so it was time to flush the power steering fluid and replace the filter again. I used an oil syringe fluid evacuator pump this time to remove and refill the fluid at the power steering pump. The picture below shows the first time the fluid was removed from the system
It took 5 remove, refill, and run engine for 4secounds to get the fluid to this clear color, about 2qts.
Here is the filter cut open. It looks like the filter could last 60,000+ miles before changing.

There was just a fine film on the magnet.
