It wont hurt the pump....its a very simple vain drive system, however Ive never really heard of anybody changing the PS fluid.

Yea if it works, why mess with it? Changing the fluid wouldn't do anything for him. (Tell him to just remove it )

I changed ps fluid with Acura PS fluid on my 97 gsr (90k) last weekend. The system holds about 4 12 oz bottles of fluid but I was only able to drain half of that. I didn't really feel any difference after the flush. I still have 2 bottles and will use turky baster method to swap those in over time.
