Don't just drain the fluid out, do a proper flush and if you don't know how, after you buy 4 quarts of p/s fluid and some sort of a hand pump, shout and I will walk you thru the process.

Thats the wrong way to change the power steering fluid, just remove the return hose from the tank, stick it into a empty gallon jug, have a friend start the engine, you keep the system full, watch the hose, once clean fluid comes out shut off the engine, put hose back, top off system, done.
15min.
You will need 2qts of power steering fluid.
And you can use Dexron III if you want to, its just hydraulic fluid.
