Default What powersteering fluid should I use?

The car is 99 v5 STi Type-R. Probably needs a top up. What type of fluid should I use (particular brand/viscosity etc?). Also can it be bought at Halfords/local retailers?

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice Gentlemen. Just didn't want to top with anything that isn't the same spec as what's in there already.
