Hello, on my jaguar xj40, I have 2 tanks, and you ? ,1 for the assistance of the brakes (HSMO color green), and 1 for the power steering, with the same red oil as the automatic box (dextron 3 red). , Use a sering for example, to empty the tank, then fill with dextron (cheaper than HSMO), run, then repeat the cycle until the oil is very red.In your case green...

Since the PAS system can use either HSMO or DEXRON I have seen dozens of cars with a mix of the fluids. I have not seen any detrimental effects from this.
You can remove the lines at the rack and let it drain. That should get most of the fluid out.
If the SLS pump was removed, I would just use DEXRON and forget about the HSMO.

Thanks for your respond, but one lesson I learned don't mix those two oils in one system I did that and I started oil leaks from the rack, so now I am replacing all rebuilt rack and pump all new hoses and need to flush the cooler so I have clean system then use only one kind of oil I chose the mineral one I don't have now SLS but don't have any problem to get it
