i don't know if you guys have thought of this, but you can use the fluid extractor to assist in power steering fluid and brake fluid changes. i used it recently to drain and fill the power steering fluid. there is an attachment available to turn the extractor into a power brake bleeder. i might make one myself though.

I agree. My GF had 5W-30 in her Accord and switched to 5W-20 like it should have and gets about 50 more miles to a tank of gas. Also added an oil additive too. I just switched over to Mobil 1 5W-20 . Expensive but worth it.
