I use power steering fluid. To drain reservoir, a turkey baster works well.

Read your owners manual or if the cap on the power steering pump is marked it will say what you use.

I don't think it matters much. I use NAPA hose brand.
To get old fluid out of reservoir use a turkey baster. Fill, drive, drain, fill again. Repeat until clear. That was my method.
