You can use Dexron 2 or 3 but I would opt for 3 as it's the newer spec. As you want to replace it I would go for a synthetic Dex 3. Then to change it, use a turkey baster or suction device to remove as much fluid from the reservoir as possible. Now disconnect the power steering return line from the side of the reservoir and cap the fitting on the reservoir. Add a length of hose to the return line and aim it into a bucket. Now fill the reservoir with new fluid. Keep adding fluid while you have someone else start the engine and shut it off while you keep the reservoir topped up. Have them also turn the steering wheel from side to side to flush out as much old fluid as possible. Just be sure to keep the reservoir full.
When you see new fluid going into the bucket stop, use the suction device to remove the fluid from the reservoir and reconnect the return line. Top up the reservoir and start the engine, turn the wheel to each side until you hit the lock. Repeat turning the wheel a few times. You are finished.
