Power Steering Fluid ????

New Kid on the block here. Just purchase my 1st Porsche (01 Boxster with 39,000 miles) and looks like it needs power steering fluid in a big way. Level does not register on the dipstick, or even on my finger when I stick it in the resevor. When going lock to lock on the wheel, I did not hear any unusual noise from the PS pump, I had it up on the rack and did not see any fluid leaking, or signs of a leak. The manual call for only Porsche approved fluid when replacing, but I'm assuming regular old (good quality) power steering fluid from Autozone is OK, right? Just as reference, is there anything else to check, quick check before I go another 6,000 to the dealer for teh 45,000 service package?
