This is the exact one I have used. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010MA2R8U/?tag=globalgrena0b-20They mention a brand of steering fluid there, but not the specification? Looking around at a lot of posts and things I think I know what one I should use. But I always like to have it in hard black-and-white.
There is nothing in the manual. Does the lid or something mention cold or hot measuring?My ps fluid level is barely above min? When engine is cold. Once warm, I see go up to the max level
Power steering fluid is always checked cold, top it up to max and then drive around like normal and check again. This is exactly how I solved that high pitch whine from the PS pump... Now I've seen first hand about 4 others do it and solve their loud PS issues.There is nothing in the manual. Does the lid or something mention cold or hot measuring?
Intriguing! However I fail to believe that dealers have not leaned on this recourse!? Instead telling customers to deal with the pump in some instances.Power steering fluid is always checked cold, top it up to max and then drive around like normal and check again.

It's hard to tell from that video for me, but what I can say is with the hood popped you can clearly go to passenger side look down and hear the noise. Also while steering it got louder in say a parking lot. I think that sound in your video is the same just hard to pin point with the camera view. Yeah at first mine was quiet and I was happy but after a few hundred miles and my first off roading trip I got the whine. So one morning checked it out and it was just at the min or just below I topped it off to Max cold. Drove around all day checked a gain later and took it back up to max never had a peep since. Here in AZ its window down weather so I can tell you that noise was not livable so I had to do something or try something. lol I haven't spoken with the local dealer yet but I plan to stop by on Friday or next week and see if they can test it out directly on one of the lot ones that has a whine. My guess is when installed since the reservoir is so far from the actual pump they don't have enough time to run it to temp and bleed the system all the way out.... Just my two cents.Intriguing!

Occam’s Razor would say you must be referring to another symptom right?
This is the whine you are referring to?
