All depends how big a hurry you are in to be rid of the squeak. Just pop it in and run normal ops if you want it to just fade away one fine day.
Think JagV8 exactly right on the dealer....little consolation if you got to retrieve your car from a service and they assure you, "Oh it still does it now, sure...but this too shall pass...uh, uhmmm...that'll be $125 service charge, btw"

even though I think it's spelled 'ditto'.

First I would like to thank those that contributed to this and similar threads. I went to the Jaguar dealer to purchase the additive. The current price is $19+ so over $20 with tax for 50ml bottle which they had none in stock? On the way home I passed the Ford dealer so I stopped in and purchased the additive mentioned for $7.50 in stock. It comes in a larger bottle so you can do 2 cars or save if you drain and refill later. This friction additive is used in positraction rear ends to stop chatter when turning. It's been in a couple of weeks and QUIET!

I got the special PAS additive months ago from a Jaguar dealer (about $12) but I can't see how to remove some of the fluid in the tank to be able to add in the 50 mL of special stuff. On every other car I've owned, when you take the cap of the power steering fluid tank, either there's nothing in the way or there's an easily removable screen. With the Jag, there's plastic in the way at the opening that I can see how to remove. How do you even fit a turkey baster in there to suck out some of the PAS fluid?

FWIW, it apparently has the capacity to wear off....and a second application also works:

Mine had a plastic screen and I used a tiny screw driver to help pull little tab up that is in slot. ( look close ) Then I used a Macdonald's plastic straw, push to bottom of tank and put finger over top to hold oil and put in container that held 50 ml. It took 5 or 6 times then throw straw away. Put screen back in and fill to line with additive.

The P/S reservoir has a plastic screen shaped like a funnel. Use a flash light and look down into the reservoir. There are two small tabs that you depress while pulling up on the plastic screen. It's abit tricky but it comes right out.
I then use a turkey baster to vac all the fluid I can out. Then I use a rag and wipe what I can of the inside of the reservoir. Mine had some small deposits on the inside.
