BE VERY CAREFUL!! Putting ordinary power steering fluid in a car which required the CF stuff will eat out seals and cost you many $. Just because the fluid in there is red does not necessarily mean it is not compatible(the color is just a dye), but it probabily is the wrong stuff. I would flush the system. You probably have a self leveling system. There is a bleed valve under the rear.And refill with the green stuff.
