Just wondering how often the PAS fluid should be replaced on an earlier F-Type?
Obviously one with hydraulic PAS rather than the later electric PAS!
I have both the 2014 and 2016 Maintenance Checksheets and neither of them say a damn thing about replacing the PAS fluid.
I am fairly sure mine has never been replaced and the car was built over seven years ago, so just now I sucked all I could out of the PAS fluid reservoir (about 270 ml) and replaced it with new fluid.
What came out was a dirty reddish brown colour as opposed to the bright cherry red of the new fluid.
Yes I know I probably got less than half of the old fluid out as there would have been heaps left in the lines and rack, but at least I changed a fair whack of it!

 

7 years good lord , Kim here was me thinking you were high on maintenance like myself , it should be changed every 3-4 years or every 50,000 miles what ever comes first , easy to do just pull it out using a turkey baster, take as much as you can out then put cap back on and drive round the block , Then remove more do this a couple of times to get most of it out , easy job . Ps time you removed the old supercharged oil from yours again an easy job on the v6 cars

 

Car can also be jacked up from the front , instead of driving it around the block , this is my favourite method , jack car up from front central , drain as much as you can out with the turkey baster then turn the steering wheel back and forth a few times go back drain some more then repeat till you got most or all of it , simples

 

On our other cars with hydraulic PAS (Dodge and Honda), I replace the fluid ~ every 100,000 miles/10 years.

I also use a turkey baster (or an old pump sprayer) to remove the fluid. I empty the reservoir & refill, repeating after a drive or two, until I have replaced ~ one liter of fluid.



None of our other cars have recommended replacement intervals for PAS fluid, either.
