that's the power steering fluid container, but these cars use ATF for power steering fluid, so fill accordingly.

ATF=Automatic Transmission Fluid. It's red and smells different than power steering fluid. Check to be sure that it's ATF in there, if in doubt, drain and put the right stuff in there. Fill accordingly meant to be sure you put ATF in there and not power steering fluid.
