FR3 Power Steering Fluid Update

Yesterday was my maintenance day for my FR3. On my yearly maintenance on my rig & generator.

I checked my power steering fluid my 2019 FR3 33DS has 19,500 miles. While the fluid looked like it could last another year it was probably the color of the "Light Brown Condition" on the chart.

I have the appropriate Motocradft Trans Fluid MERCONŽ LV on hand so I went ahead and performed a drain & fill with fresh fluid. (After 200 Miles I will drain and fill again to ensure entire power steering system has a near new fluid mixture.) That's just how I do it and Im comfortable with.

Pretty easy to do, and it something you can do yourself.

Thought I would share what my 2019 FR3 after 3 years or 19,500 miles looked like for your comparison.
