Does timing belt replacement require power steering fluid drain?
Received quote (without looking at vehicle first) from local mechanic for 2009 Honda Pilot timing belt and water pump replacement.
Noticed the quote included coolant fluid exchange, AND power steering fluid exchange.
I didn't know the power steering system was affected by this type of service. Is this accurate?
I have read/viewed many resources on this service and nothing I saw ever mentioned the PS system.
Thanks!

One note, if the service is done, it is important to use either Honda's fluid or one that is specifically licensed for use as Honda's fluid.
