Power steering fluid. I would recommend you do a little flush of the pump bedor hooking it all up too.

Red pandas are so cute :)

Shop will be doing the work on the steering stuff so I'm sure they will do it right whatever the correct procedure for bleeding/flushing system.

Just confirming one last time that I can use the following fluid? I'm a little paranoid because I don't want to have to replace the steering gearbox again.
