That's a good question. I've had my rig for 5 years and have never dchanged out the fluid and didn't think to read that it's required. I don't use my rig very often and suspect the fluid is not as "weak" as others, but all fluid gets old over time. The fluid is still pretty pink in my rig. Like in a vehicle, the fluid will discolor and age because of the heat associated with how it's used.

I could see pumping out the fluid in the reservoir and replacing that, but this does not cover the fluid remaining in the hoses. Kinda like changing the fluid in the braking system, it requires some kind of bleed system and this has been possible with my vehicles but I am not aware of a similar system in a slideout system.

I hope someone can suggest something and it isn't a major production and therefore very expensive.
