Power steering fluid question

Power steering fluid
Hello I have an 09 370z touring and my power steering fluid is just a little bit low just wondering what's the best brand to us and can I mix to different types since there is already a good amount there already.

I'd either do a flush and fill, and/or go with Nissan OEM

How much do you think the dealer will charge me and why can't I just add fluid instead of flushing the whole thing is it necessary

You can just add, but it's a fluid, it should be changed every so often
I think I paid $80 for a full flush and fill

Yeah, you can just add some fluid to it. It won't hurt it.
