Power Steering fluid

My power steering is whining when cold, I've checked the level and the expansion tank is near empty when cold.
Is there a recommended power steering fluid type I should use?

Should match this FORD spec ESP-M2C166-H.
If you have to top up you MUST have or had a leak at some time. The fluid should as in the gear box be checked when HOT ( operating) temperature otherwise overfilling can occur.
THIS might help
