The power steering takes Automatic Transmission Fluids, not Brake Fluids as you've listed. I've success with Mobil1 synthetic ATF.

How about if I need to top off the fluid? Any suggestion?

Dexron III ATF, any brand. Power steering is a very undemanding application for fluids, you basically just need an ATF that is clean.
