I'm sure there will be varied opinions on the correct Power Steering fluid..but I use in mine, which is also what the dealer uses as well is:

Open the reservoir cap and add till it is filled to the center ring thingy in the middle, the cap I think has a depth mark gauge for cold and or hot..Basically, if you can see it you're about full...Yes do it while the engine is off.

In a very cold climate as below 0 deg F, I enjoy using Castrol automatic transmax Z and it's working great with me, it's also synthetic oil.
