Is there any special process to doing this, other than just sucking out of the reservoir and swapping fluid?

Really, unless the oil/fluid is real dirty or water contaminated, I wouldn't even bother changing it.

If you do though, just run the tabs or drive up and down several times to bleed out any air.

Im one of those that even if you tell me you just changed something, I'd rather change it again to know it was done right and when it was done. It doesnt look that dirty per say, but just rather do it to know its good to go. Thanks guys!
