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...

VW, Audi, Porsche, RR, Bentley etc also have Pentosin

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***

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...

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.
