Default power steering fluid?

Anyone know if regular PS fluid that you can buy at any auto store could be used in a 6th gen civic or does it have to be Honda brand?

It HAS to be Honda brand. I know PepBoys carries Honda Genuine Power Steering Fluid.

I would strongly recommend Honda since I just replaced a power steering rack on one of my Acura Legends and all the places I contacted wouldn't guarantee their units unless you use only Honda or Acura fluid.
