good catch on the expiration.

For the others reading, how often should you change the power steering filter? I had the reservoir replaced just shy of 2 years ago, i assume the filter was also new then.

A word of caution, be careful adding gear lube to the truck that still has a DPF. If/when you start burning a lot of oil the gear lube in there will create more ash and start clogging up the DPF faster. If your oil consumption is low then it's probably not a big deal. But as you get closer to needing an inframe and start consuming more oil then you may end up with more ash collecting in the DPF. It's the reason why most of those additives were removed from the motor oil in the first place. Good for the engine, but bad for the DPF.
