Any reason a siphon would remove more fluid than a baster? Someone said that there's a screen at the bottom of the reservoir so I wouldn't be able to slide the siphon's tubing down past the bottom, is that correct?

edit, just did this for the first time (I don't know if it was done while under warranty). I'll say that for those with old power steering fluid, basting out old fluid and replacing with new and then cycling the wheel a bunch (repeat until 1l bottle is empty) may not result in fluid that's as clean as one might like. However I'd think that this procedure would work fine with a 1L bottle if you've changed the fluid once in a while or so.

There does appear to be a strainer at the bottom so I don't know if a siphon would work, although given the option I;d rather do a full flush than in incremental replacement.
