Need to change the power steering fluid in my 2012.

Simple as sucking out the old, replace with new, drive a while and repeat? Or is there a hose to disconnect and drain?

i took the return hose off and plugged the return port of the pump and ran the return line to a catch pan and kept feeding new fluid till it was nice and clean,,took like four quarts, There's a u-tube video on how to do it.

the guys at Jiffy-Lube are really super, lots of guys go there and there's probably a nice starbucks handy nearby to chill at while it's getting a flush.

Waste of money. I work for a company that uses E450 superdutys. They go 200K+ and never get power steering or transmission fluid changed.

I know this post is old but what would happen if universal power steering fluid was put into an 07 expedition instead of the mercon v? Mine never came with a manual and I just assumed it was like every other car I've had, so am I screwed or what?
