Aftermarket Power Steering Fluid Take 2

Alright.. after looking through 5 pages of a 'power steering' search, not one thread had an aftermarket power steering fluid answer..
i know, 'go to the dealer and pick up the oem fluid' is the typical answer, but I cannot get up to a dealer, my fluid is low, the steering is squeeking a bit, so before I end up with a larger/costly pump problem, I need to get some more fluid in there..
should I just get the most expensive ATF fluid? or what is recommended? I don't need to break anything as this is my dd.. thanks in advance

You can probably run to your local Autozone and they will have Mitsubishi "TYPE" which will be fine for now.

Valvoline Syn Power, power steering fluid. Compatible with most brands. I used it in my car without untoward effects.
