Default Flushing PS fluid

Alright I bought some pentosin PS fluid from ECS. Is there an easy way to flush my PS fluid? I was thinking of replaching all of the fluid in the reservior with new fluid, run it for a little while and replace the fluid in there again.

Thoughts?

get an additive which is designed to clean the system then put the good stuff in or just drop the old and fill with new if the fluid is clean

its kinda messy but you can disconnect one of the hoses going to the resivor, run the car stering lock to lock (engine runing) then tune it off. (it would probably be a good idea to do this with the car on stands. then raplace doing the same thing and refilling the fluid as it goes down. Other than that, I was thinking bout doing the turky baster method.

Yeah the turket baster is probably the least messy, but more impercise. I'll probably end up doing that for now once I get the fluid from ECS.
