<E34> Power Steering Fluid Change

Hi,
On my '91 535i I need to replace the two hoses that come off the power
steering reservoir. A few questions related to that task:
Is there an effective way to drain all the fluid out of the system?
Can I use a synthetic, like Redline D4ATF in place of the
petroleum-based ATF it has now (I assume)?
If I do use a synthetic, should I clean out the system somehow or is
this not necessary? Any concerns about mixing the two types?
Lastly, it sounds like E28s have a filter in the system; is there one
on E34s and if so, how do I replace it? Bentley makes no mention.
Anything else that I should do while I'm at it?
Thanks in advance,
Adnan
