Ok, so I checked webtech: http://www.hmaservice.com/webtech/iindex.asp?id=394879084#_394879084
But, has anyone done it themselves before? When I took my car in for an oil change, they wanted to charge me $49.99 for this service because my fluid was "spent". Since that was twice as much as I went in there to spend (got car wash too), I passed. When I read the service manual, I was like - what are high-tension cables, what are the ignition coils gonna look like, what does it mean to "operate the starter motor intermittently" (start the car and turn it off over and over again?), why would you "Pour the fluid into the bottom of the oil filter in the power steering fluid reservoir" (is there an oil filter in the power steering reservoir, should it be changed?), how do you bleed the air (different from bleeding brakes right?) :confused: I figure once I got it jacked up and crawled under, I would have a little better understanding of where they are coming from, but without any pics on their website, I'm hesitant to attempt this myself. That is, unless any of you can clarify just how easy this is to do yourself (or not). Thanks.
