I don't know what you have (other than a Mercruiser 4.3) - but if you are just needing to add power steering fluid to your power steering pump.... then you use power steering fluid. ;)

I figured it's power steering fluid but what kind. I've seen some threads showing ATF type F, Dexron, Dexron ll and i even saw one that said to use 10-30 motor oil.

If it's Red,.... Use ATF.... Any of them.....
If it's Brown,..... Use Motor oil.......
