Getting Rid of Power Steering Pump Whine Once and For All

GM sells(or at least did) a additive that stops pump whine almost instantly, seen my GM tech neighbor use it on a Mustang(he's long since moved out of state)... Problem is I dunno what's it's called or their part number...

There's a Cardone on my Bird that never made one peep on install, but I rotated pump by hand to get air from system before installing belt...

Well got my pump rebuilt, super easy to do. I also picked up 5 quarts of Castrol Type F, picked them up for $1 each at work so how could I say no haha.
I'm going to flush all the old stuff out and add some of that Lucas power steering fluid.
If this doesn't get rid of the whine Idk what will.
Here's a pic of the newly rebuilt pump

Went ahead and put in my new rebuilt pump on and it has made quite the difference
Used the Castrol Type F and flushed all the old stuff out, put 2 quarts of the Lucas PS fluid in and my PS is quieter than ever
I'm super happy with the results
