I used synthetic power steering fluid in mine.
Valvoline Syntec was the name I think, been a while since I installed it.
Glad the install went well for you.
After you fill it with fluid, take a short drive.
Do the full to lock left and right turn at least twice to each side and a couple stops.
Then check the fluid level again.
After you get all the air out of the steering pump side, I think you will be very happy.

The new line should have had an O ring on it as well.
Rather easy to knock it off the fitting when you are installing the line given the proximity of the inner fender.
If someone pulls out in front of you, I hope you wear your seatbelt.
If you jump on the brakes like you had to in the past, it is going to hurt when you kiss the steering wheel.
