Disconnect the return pipe to the reservoir,and put it into container to catch the oil.block off the hole in the reservoir[where the hose would have gone].fill reservoir with new ATF oil.jack front of vehicle up,turn the steering back and forth.that will purge any old oil into the container.briefly start motor,that will push new oil thru the system,and clean out pump.then reconnect return hose,refill reservoir,and start motor,turning the steering back and forth,making sure reservoir is always full.when the oil stops going down,put vehicle back on ground,and check power steer operations

it doesnt really matter if you dont use the correct transmission fluid..your not adding it to the trans where theres other oil,and you may affect the gear changes etc, etc.youre filling an empty hydraulic circuit ie power steering system,so any auto trans oil will do.you could probably even use hydraulic oil.we used to use Dexron 3

And please make sure you are using the correct Mercon transmission fluid. Consult your owners manual for this I'm guessing it will be Mercon 4.

the milky colar is caused by air in the system. this takes a little to get out and will cause your power steering nt to work correctly.jack the front axle off the ground then start. turn the steering wheel slowly fom right lock to left lock. check fluid in resevior top of if needed and repeat. this might take a while, but it will get the air out.
