My car needs new power steering, radiator, and AT fluid. The shop I work at has a flushing machine for each one, but after searching up these things, the forum says not to flush and to just drain and fill. I used the machine today on a CRV and it doesn't seem like it compresses air or forces fluid in via pressure. The machine doesn't even get turned on. We turn on the car and let the car cycle the fluid through the machine and used genuine Honda ATF. So should I flush or drain and fill?
Flushing some fluids soon. Some questions though

If you have all the right equipment for it I would flush it, but only use the genuine honda fluid dont use any additives or anything like that.

You can do it urself. Just have the atf return line from the radiator in a bucket. Have someone turn the car on and pour tranny fluid in as its coming out of the bucket. Wait until it becomes nice and red. Thats basically what they are going to do. There are other machines that force all the old fluid out of the torque converter with pressure, thats what you dont want to do.

Power steering is missing from the list, but check your owner's manual.
