Power Steering reservoir

Couple of questions...

Will the turbo reservoir fit on an Ecotec? I asume it makes no difference it being slightly bigger, aslong as its filled to the correct mark?

Second question, swapping over the reservior for a new one, will it matter if I just drain it and the fit the new one then top it up? didnt know if that might trap air in the system or not...

simple answer is it will work but it wont fit your holder and why would you want to, once you've filled up the reservoir leave the cap off and turn the steering from side to side with the engine running that will bleed the air out
