What kind does the V6 use? Is it ok to "top off" the resovoir?
Reason I ask, is because It seems like as my engine gets warmer, my steering wheel seems a little "tight". I know it's not suppoused to be loose like a Cadillac, but it just seems like it takes a little extra effort to turn the wheel at low speed, such as in a parking lot...

Adding more fluid isn't going to "loosen" it any. Stop being a pussy and work out those arms, Nancy Boy.

Just buy OEM fluid. Every car I've owned has been fine using the stock stuff. It's not like there's any such thing as "performance" power steering fluid and PSF is super cheap at less than $2 a bottle.

Never top off your PS fluid, becuase what happens is when you turn your wheel back to center after it is hot. it will purge the extra fluid out of the resivor. Read the resivor it will show you where to fill to when it is hot/cold.
