Which power steering fluid?

[anmagro]

So my power steering fluid is dry and there for makin noise, my fault. Which is the right power steering fluid? I did a search and found pentosin chf-11s. Where can i get this or anything else i can use?

[redmond1501]

Advance Auto Parts and Napa carry Pentosin CHF-11s. There is a good DIY writeup somewhere for flushing the fluid and cleaning the reservoir filter in B6 cars, but the process is nearly the same (don't have to remove the headlight on B5 cars). It's really easy and took me 20 mins.

I think theres a napa around campus, and an advance auto parts as well. i will check this out. i dont really want to drive the car because there is literally nothing in my res. but foam, and thats really bad to drive with, even a little bit...

i will try to remember to check back to this thread if i can find some at napa or advanced.

- thanks.

This is the only type of fluid you'll want to put in our PS systems:

• Hydraulic System Fluid (Power Steering Fluid) - Pentosin CHF11S 1 Liter

Putting anything else in our PS systems, can lead to severe damage, which can be quite costly in the end.

I use Mobile1 ATF, cheaper and more readily available.
