Hyundai initially recommended using PSF-3 power steering fluid for the 2005 Santa Fe, but that has since been replaced by the newer recommendation of PSF-4. While you can easily find PSF-4 at various places, there are also alternative options available. PSF-4 is essentially a generic synthetic power steering fluid similar to SP IV automatic transmission fluid minus the dye. Some retail stores suggest using Prestone Power Steering Fluid, which is a popular choice for many vehicles. Switching to a different fluid won't cause any harm, but it's advisable to flush the system and completely replace the fluid if you're deviating from the manufacturer's specifications. It's better to have a uniform type of fluid in the system rather than mixing different types.
