You would need to disconnect the return hose at the reservoir and add a short hose extension so that you can direct the fluid into a catch jug, or it might be possible to run the return hose under the car to a jug.
As for fluid, I like Valvoline MaxLife Dex/Merc. It is a full synthetic and is about $20/gal at Autozone. Some Walmarts carry it for $17/gal.
