Penrite LDAS synthetic about $30 litre at Repco for steering.

Brake fluid is Dot 4. Should be the same if it is Dot 4?
Personally I don't change the brake fluid, just check with a moisture meter
every year. My Falcon went ten years without a change, no problems.

Sure that is not the most efficient way, but I did not want to unbolt fluid reservoirs and hose's and have fluid go every where.

I did a search on YouTube and found the above, worked fine!
Here is a link to a Volvo - same parts and same procedure; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op6vqOlutTE
