Do you replace the reservoir to get to the non-removable filter? Seems like that may be overkill. I would look to changing the filter if I had a component failure that put metal in the system.
If one wanted to do a more complete job than using a syringe to change only the small amount of fluid in the reservoir, I think the best would probably be to drain the pump at the same time. If doing just the reservoir, I would think it would take a lot more than 2 cycles to change a significant portion of the fluid.
