Recycling Power Steering Fluid

Can it just be mixed in with oil? Or can it be accepted everywhere oil can? I tired to take some to wally world but they said they only take oil.

The power steering fluid does not run through a filter. It is necessary to change the fluid or else you are in for an expensive fix.

I would not recycle your PSF.

power steering fluid is toxic, so why would you not recycle?

Not reusing the fluid... Recycling it! AKA, not dumping it down the drain for flipper and his buddies to swim in it.

Without researching it, Id just add it to the oil.

Just mix it with your oil. It should be fine. PS fluid is considered an oil when discarding no? Someone please correct me if im wrong.

Please recycle sorry for my misunderstanding.

Last time I checked, PSF was lifetime fill, though I'm getting ready to change mine as its too dark for my tastes at 93k, lol.
