My car has 60k miles on it now, '04 TSX, and the dealer is suggesting that i flush the power steering and brake fluid. Is that necessary? What value add is there by doing this? I don't usually do the "services." I know what's needed when - generally. Alignment is getting done this week, not sure whether to do these or not. Thoughts?

Flush the brake fluid to lessen the risk you'll need an ABS controller on down the line - Acura recommends this. Get someone to help if you've never done a brake bleed before, or pay the dealer.

PS fluid can be done yourself. Empty the reservoir with a turkey baster and refill with fresh PS fluid. Drive the vehicle a few days and repeat until the fluid is clean.

I'd do the brake fluid flush,wouldn't worry about doing the PS flush for now.

i flushed the PS and brake fluid @ 30k miles, and again at 60k miles.
