Hey olgeezer, I am an ASE a tech that has been working on SHOs for 12 years. I'm right in New Brunswick. If you ever need a hand please pm me for more info. I'd love to help fellow sho enthusiast.

You could get a hand pump, funnel and some tubing and do it yourself. There is a fluid level hole near the top of the case. You need a pump to draw out the old stuff and you can route longer tubing and a funnel to gravity feed in the new stuff. Or you could call around until you get a shop that can do what you want with the correct replacement fluid. I like independent shops that are run by ex dealer techs.

Do this. Seriously a simple procedure, and the only tools you need are a $5 harbor freight hand pump and a 3/8 socket wrench and extension. Pump the old stuff out until it it runs dry and then pump the new stuff in or gravity feed. If you do things really clean it'll take an hour of time, at most.
