[s-cars] P/S flushing procedure

[Daniel Hussey]

Fellow lister Chad Frederick and I did this procedure last night (Thanks
Chad!)...  Man, that stuff in there was dirty.  It looked like old motor oil
in color.  Dirty brown, and you could see tiny metal particles in it. Takes
30-40 minutes and well worth the time.

Feel much better knowing fresh 11.1S is in there vs. that dirty gunk!

Later,
