Default Power Steering fluid, is this ok?

Hi all,

Checked the PSF level and it is low so I want to top it up.
According to the manual I need a certain GM spec but I am trouble finding it here in England where I live but I found this at a national car parks store.

Please click the link to take a look at it.

On the label it says GM 6137M which is not what my manual calls for but I can't find the one it asks for.

Do you think this will be ok?

The fluid at the moment is a pinky red.

Thanks

Alex

Or maybe even this one as it might be a higher spec?

Is it Dex 2 or 3 that I should be using as I think these are terms that are common in the UK and I am hoping are used in the US too?

Thanks

Not exactly sure on the GM exports to the uk as regarding what the standards are for fluids and lubricants. Did the vehicle come with an owners manual with the specs for all fluids?
