A whining PS pump is not normal, no matter what the dealer says. They are just trying to get out of a repair. And no fluid is going to improve your PS pump or make it easier to steer. Just stick with regular PS fluid, and change out your pump. A whining pump is one that is going bad. Hence the weak steering.
