I looked in my owners manual and Chilton Repair manual and it does not even mention changing it. I have to drain it because I am begining my SC install any minute. Thanks for any help.

Remove the return line from the power steering reservoir and route it to a catch can (you may have to rig a temporary extension line to reach). Start the engine, turn the steering wheel to left lock, to right lock, and turn off the ignition. Do this quickly because that reservoir will go dry in a few seconds.
