    The link isn't working for me. I've had no luck finding Pentosin CHF 7.1 at any local parts stores - guess I'll have to go to the stealer...

    Pentosin CHF 11S Synthetic Hydraulic Fluid

    Pentosin CHF 11S Synthetic Hydraulic Fluid - Fully synthetic hydraulic fluid for steering and central hydraulic systems. This synthetic fluid is correct for many later models which specify synthetic fluid. Temperature range -40C to +130C. Should not be mixed with ATF fluids or other power steering fluids. ***Note - this is currently sold as part # G00200 by Audi/VW as of 1990, replacing Pentosin CHF7.1 The CHF11S is correct for Audi/VW 1990 and later models, while Audi/VW 1989 and earlier models can use either 7.1 or 11S although 11S is recommended. Audi/VW states that 7.1 and 11S can be mixed if necessary but we suggest draining and flushing the system if you are changing from 7.1 to 11S***

    1 liter can. Equivalent to the following: VW/Aud# G002000, BMW# 81.22.9.407.758 and 82.11.1.468.041, Porsche# 000.043.203.33, Rolls-Royce & Bentley# RH5000

Audi/VW states that 7.1 and 11S can be mixed if necessary but we suggest draining and flushing the system if you are changing from 7.1 to 11S***

    I'd prefer to stay away from the synthetic, as I was just going to add, not replace the fluid. It says you can mix, but I don't know...

    • Important note on fluid compatibility: if vehicle specifications state CHF7.1, CHF11S and CHF202 can be substituted in place of, but not mixed with, CHF7.1. If vehicle specifications state CHF11S (or CHF202), do not substitute with CHF7.1. CHF11S and CHF202 are fully compatible and mixable. Pentosin CHF fluids should not be mixed with ATF fluids. Always check your owner's manual to confirm the correct fluid is being used for the vehicle.

    I had been getting mine from Amazon.com which is about as convenient as it gets but I see that they now only list it for one of their affiliates who jacked the price to $26 + $7 shipping. Guess the next time I order from autohausaz.com I will add a can @$21 to push me over the $50 threshold to get free shipping.

    NAPA has CHF11S.

    I got some ordered from local supplier and it cost a LOT less than I was planning. Online was nuts! Never checked stealer price or import suppliers.
