I'm going to flush my power steering fluid, and wondering if it's common practice to change the reservoir since it contains a filter. 2001 330ci vert 153k. Always appreciate the good advice in this space. Thx.

At that age and mileage, I would replace it. The filter is built inside the reservoir, and they are not an arm and leg for one.

Yup, and make sure you by a reservoir made by ZF. Buy it at FCPEuro. Great prices, great customer service and a lifetime warranty. Located in Connecticut so it’ll arrive quickly.
