Power Steering Fluid

My daughter's 2004 Santa Fe (2.4L standard transmission) is making strange noises on start up which I think is due to a power steering issue as the noise is greater when she turns the wheel while stationary or when driving for the first 5 minutes or so until it warms up.

She came over tonight I she is about an 1 to 1.5" below the MINIMUM line on the Power Steering Reservoir.

Is there any special or proprietary Power Steering Fluid I need to be buying or what should I be buying to top this up?

I know there has been much discussion on using only Hyundai automatic transmission fluid over the years, but in this case it's for the power steering?

What should I be buying to top up the fluid when I go to WalMart or Cambodian Tire tomorrow?

Thank you to those that will reply.

We just use O'Reilly plain old power steering fluid... kinda clear, smells like dead fish

Correct... PSF-4 was used in later generation Sonata and couple other chassis
