Big A$$ syringe (1.5 quart). Bought it primarily to be able to push fluid up into the fill hole of the differential on the Elements. Also came in handy for doing power steering drain & fills without trying to disconnect hoses and getting fluid all over the engine bay. Just suck the fluid out of the reservoir, fill with fresh, exercise the steering, repeat. For the Elements and Pilot, two bottles of PS fluid is enough to do at least three drain & refills. I haven't checked the total capacity of the systems to calculate how much of the fluid is now fresh, but it is so easy to do now I'll do it more often. This is one of those tools that I'll keep finding new uses for. My only complaint is that the are large holes (not all the way through) the hemispherical end of the plunger, so when using it upside down, it retains fluid in those holes.
