Default Jaguar xk 2010 5000 engine steering fluid question

Hello to everyone I replaced my red fluid for sterring system in Jaguar XK 5000 (2010)
with LIQUI MOLY I'm fen of LIQUI MOLY after replacing there is little noise when I'm moving the steering.

1) I'm worried if this fluid its meeting the specification of my car 🤣
2)I replaced in simple method extract the fluid from the cylinder and topped with new fluid move the steering araund 10 times in parking position and again replaced then I made same process 3 , 4 times total 2 liter fluid .
did I made something wrong with the process or maybe the fluid is not meeting the specification when I compare the fluid the previous fluid is very heavy and dense
and the new one is light and diluted compared to the red one
any Advise 😁 I will attach picture of fluid

You need to see if the specifications on the bottle meet Jaguars. Also be aware that it may take a couple drive cycles to get all of the air to leave the oil. Did you follow the procedure in the manual for changing the steering fluid, specifically raising the front end off the ground and cycling the steering back and forth?
