Any standard power steering fluid can be used for the 2012 Chevrolet Captiva; there is no requirement for a specific brand or type. Consider trying Prestone's Full-Synthetic PS Fluid with part number AS264Y available at Advance Auto Parts for around $10. While it is normal to occasionally top off the power steering fluid, frequent refills may indicate a leak that could worsen over time. Keep a record of how much fluid you add and when for monitoring purposes. Furthermore, a faulty power steering pump may cause the fluid to lose effectiveness gradually, leading to the need for a system drain and refill.
