Default Power Steering Fluid flush?

How do i flush the power steering fluid? I just bought a bottle of Mobile 1 ATF Sentethic fluid and the new jaguar squeaky steering fix. How should i flush the old fluid out? Just suck it out with a large syringe? The dealer sold me the additive for 10 bucks and the ps steering fluid i bought for 10 from auto zone, its ATF fluid though. The dealer was asking for 30 dollars for the same bottle, but non synthetic, it was Mobile 1 ATF 320.

Well i went with the procedure. I didnt bother with a temp gauge or any nonsense like that. I used Mobile 1 Synthetic ATF for the power steering and the 50 mL of fluid. I just sucked out the old fluid with a turkey baster and large syringe. I added the ATF until it hit the lowest fill line than added in the 50 ml. Therefore leaving me with a good amount of fluid in the resovore. Than i just took the card for a ride, doing the sharp turns, and turning the wheel to full lock a few times on both sides. I doubt that the temp will make a difference, all it does it makes the fluid less viscose so it will flow faster and seal the squeak. I bought the 50ml of fluid for 9:50 american dollars if anyone was curious. If anyone has any questions let me know.

Thanks!
Gupta

I used the synthetic ATF, didnt see the 320 fluid at autozone. I didnt bother flushing it out a multiple times, no squeaks anymore, thats all that matters :-)
