Using the same Schaeffer Oil as per transmission, sems to be improved so far after 1 cycle, with lighter steering feel and no leaks.

1. siphon as much as you can out of reservoir
2. add fresh fluid
3. disconnect the top return line leave bottom one connected
4. shove a vinyl tube that'll fit into the black hose as far and deep as you can
5. while vehicle engine is OFF but key is in ACC turn the steering wheel all the way left
6. while holding the steering wheel farthest left, turn the key on for 2 TWO seconds (this will pump out a buttload of old fluid
7. add more fluid to reservoir
8. repeat steps 5 and 6 for turning a full RIGHT
9. observe clean bright red fluid
10. get paranoid about the clicking sounds you'll hear as the PS pump works out the air in the lines
11. post about it on 4runner forum
