Default Power Steering Fluid drain/refill

Quick one here, I've already tried this once and just wanted to know if there is anything additional I can do to drain the PS fluid before replacing it... 93 Civic EX - Disconnected return line from PS motor, jacked up the front end and spun the steering L and R until the fluid was as drained as it could out of the bowl and motor. There was still some old fluid left and it has already discolored the new fluid. Guess you just keep draining and refilling until the fluid stays clear for a bit?

Some water got into the system and the original fluid was that sludgy choc. milk color.

I'll give that a shot, been googling and searching on here and the one thing I cannot find is a firm answer on the total fluid capacity of the PS system in the 92-95 Civics...

thoughts?
