Hi Godwin, I've got a '03 Mustang GT with 62,000 miles. Needless to say it doesn't get driven much. I've never changed or flushed the power steering fluid but I have done the brake fluid. Since the car isn't driven much and there is no noise coming from the steering unit or any other issue, do I need to change the power steering fluid? I await your reply, Steve S.

My car has 62000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
