Brake and PS Fluids

Have an '06 with only 24K. Dealer rec changing brake fluid and suppose not unreasonable considering over the 3 yr limit in owner's book. But also rec changing power steering fluid and do not see this in manuel. Any thoughts?

brake fluid every at least every 3 yrs. for PS...though the manual does not state anything, some are changing only when dirty, some change with brake fluid interval, some change a lot more frequently (those with DIY and time to do it), some change every 60K mi. its not a bad idea to swap the fluid esp if its dirty, think of it as preventative more than anything. doesn't hurt the car...just a little in the wallet.

Definitely change bf.. but make sure they drain it from all the caliper lines and don't simply do a suck & fill on the res / MC. I suggest changing your PSF as well.
