There is a dipstick on the cap for the fluid. The dipstick has a marking for full, half full, etc. If your Power Steering reservoir is completely empty you should take it to get looked at as there is definitely a leak somewhere in the system. Refilling it might not do you any good ( if there is a loud squealing when you turn or if its hard to turn while sitting still or moving slow it might be too late to save the power steering pump). Refilling it could just put idle fluid in that's just going to leak out. If you do want to just refill it i wouldn't imagine it taking more than 24 ounces ( 2 containers), but pour it in until either it reads full on the dipstick or its to the full line on the side of the reservoir
