Default Changing power steering fluid,

Where can I find instructions on how to change the power steering fluid, and what type of fluid is required. Is it possible to slowly change the fluid out by continuously swapping new fluid for old fluid through the reservoir over the course of several days? I have known people to do that when they aren't comfortable getting under the car.

Disconnect the return line at the PS reservoir and connect to a container. Plug the reservoir inlet. Jack the front end up until the front wheels are off the ground. With the engine NOT running turn the steering wheel from stop to stop and add fluid to reservoir as you pump it out into the container. I used the latest version of Dexron.
