AU will require the special fluid.It is a gear oil ,See below for castrol or can buy from ford too

The castrol website has a lube guide comes in very handy

Supercheap has the stuff for AU's. I use the Valvoline Ford Falcon Power Steering stuff, its easy to spot it has a picture of an AU XR on the front and states its only suitable for EL onwards Falcons. Its different to the standard green Power steering fluid or the Red Dextron fluids it has the consistancy and look of manual transmission fluid.
