I wanted to know some advice and instructions on how to change the power steering fluid in a 03' G35. Thanks for the help!

I haven't changed mine, but I can't imagine it being much different than in any other car. I'm sure we'll have someone chime in here in a bit who has some experience changing the fluid.

You can pay a dealer to flush it, I am not sure it's all that necessary if you periodically refresh it by taking a turkey baster and sucking out all the old fluid in the reservoir. I would leave a little at the bottom so no air gets in the system, but it will likely work itself out as you drive even if it did. Refill with fresh factory fluid, or an equivalent. I think Valvoline makes a semi-synthetic PS fluid that's supposed to add some life to the system. Make sure it's compatible.

i think its stupid...just my opinion...chaning the fluid in just the reservoir doesn't do anything

I use Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF fluid.I used a turkey blaster to suck it out.I then would refill and drive a few days and repeat it takes a few times but easy to do.
