Assuming you mean 250K miles, not 250 miles, start changing your oil/filter more frequently. Change the oil and filter every 5000 miles and check your oil level regularly and do not let it get low.

Due to the age and mileage the steering is worn. Have a mechanic check/inspect the pump, rack and hoses.

The best oil is what the owner's manual recommends. In your case that's 5W-20 GF6 synthetic oil.
