Steering gearbox replacement - fluid?
I am seeing a lot of steering gearbox replacements that don't mention replacing the fluid. My Haynes manual even states to cap off the lines to prevent fluid loss, then top off afterwards. There is no mention of draining and refilling.
What are everyones thoughts on refreshing all the fluid instead of just topping off? I gather it is unnecessary, otherwise the Haynes manual would have spelled that out?

The 2015 Ford Owner's Manual states this
POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Check the power steering fluid. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 457). If
adding fluid is necessary, use only
MERCON LV ATF
Check your owner's manual
