specific PS fluid for 2000 q45??

I hope I'm posting this in the right section but I just changed out my power steering pressure hose yesterday and was wondering if there is a specific fluid that I need to use on my car, I'm asking because I used regular power steering fluid but car seems to make a weird squeaky noise sometimes when I turn. I've read that people mix atf fluid aswell but what do u guys say?
