What do you want to change it for? It's not a routine service item.

i get a whiney noise when ive been out for a good run and im sure its the power steering pump. ive been told that its probably the fluid and it just wants changing / flushing out. worth a try anyway , gotta be cheaper than a pump!

If the pump is making a whiney noise and the level isn't low i'd say it's time to sort out a new pump.... i had to do that about 4 years ago. Fluid change made no difference the noise just gets louder and louder as the bearings pack up.
