Hello, guys

I have trouble finding the right fluid for my 307cc convertible.
It opens and closes but sometimes it has a hard time lifting the roof and stops.

I later found out that the fluid is a little under the minimum and tried to find the exact match: 973557.
I did not find it herr in Belgium but a shop recommended me steering fluid 'SP fluid 3013'.

Is this an alternative i can use?
And can i top it up or should i drain the fluid thats already in it?

The hydraulic oil specification is: ARAL VITAMOL ZH-M
ARAL Vitamol ZH-M - schmierstoffe-online.com, Bavaria, Germany
You should be matching this or finding an equal hydraulic oil to this specification "ZH-M" (not saying the recommendation is not that, I didn't check, but did link the data)
SP Fluid 3013 productinformatie. - Kroon-Oil

A quick search for equal 'ZH-M' products showed (not an exhaustive search)
FEBI Bilstien #02615 ZH-M (said to be cost wise cheapest option)
Mopar 68035321AA (specified by Chrysler, maybe locally be cheaper than above)

And the below, which BMW use (so most likely costs a lot, like Peugeot)
