What fluid is recommended?

As of 2007 the spec' was changed to MerconV (as per TSB 07-1-7 - MERCON™ ATF REPLACED BY MERCON™ V AS A SERVICE FLUID FOR SOME POWER STEERING SYSTEMS)

Yes, it's OK.

Why not siphon out the reservoir and get as much of the old fluid out as possible? Many use a turkey baster or the pump from a spray bottle. Do this at every oil change and your P/S system will thank you.

Yes use Mercon V only. I didn't know and used power steering fluid, the power steering pump was loud, I changed it to Mercon V and it become quietter.
