I use the same method for refreshing the power steering fluid. I do it mainly when I start to see some color change. I'm not really sure how often I do it, but I would guess about every 15,000 miles. I usually suck out as much as I can (about a pint) and refill then repeat in about a week. If it seems dirtier than I would like I may keep repeating until I have run about 2 1/2 to 3 quarts through the system and I may repeat nearly every day instead of waiting a week in between. The fluid on the Escape still looks pristine so I have not done anything with it yet.
