    Default IS this reservoir for pentosin or ATF?

    I'm assuming this is the power steering/suspension reservoir, and that it takes pentosin since it has no dipstick, like a normal powersteering reservoir.

    Just wanted to check before I added anything, as well as ask...

    ?!?!?! How the heck do you know it is "FULL" ?!?!?!?

    pentosin chf11s, fill to the bottom of the screen, on cars with hydro boost brakes you need to pump the hell out of the brakes with the engine off to discharge the brake accumulator before you top up the tank to the bottom of the screen
