Power steering fluid low, what can I use to fill it back up until I flush it? I noticed my power steering fluid is below the "add" mark on the dipstick, which is strange because I haven't noticed any leaks of any kind. Anyway, what type of fluid can I use to fill it back up to where it's supposed to be, or is mixing fluids not recommended? It currently has the original power steering fluid in it. I plan to flush it completely in the near future, but I don't want to keep driving the car while low on fluid. Thanks.

I've had to add a little over the last 5 years.
I've only used the GM stuff from the dealer.
1#1052884 is what it says on the bottle.

If you ever plan to road race/open track/autocross it, I would use Redline or Royal Purple ps fluid after you flushed the system. If not, the GM stuff, or any good fluid (i.e.; Valvoline synth.) is just fine.
