When to replace PS Fluid?

How often should you replace the power steering fluid? I could not find the interval in my manual.

Thanks!!

see other recent thread on DIY and ignore the diagram showing smaller hose slipped inside the PS return line-does NOT work at all
Instead get a short length of larger diameter hose- garden hose will work and clamp it on the outside of the ps hose- or you WILL have fluid everywhere!!!

Use HONDA ps fluid ONLY
put cardboard under the tires to make it easier to turn them on pavement

Get an alignment to see if anything changes.
