Hydraulic Fluid for Power Steering

[Virus]

Hi SOGers,

 

Can anyone advice what type of hydraulic fluid in market can I use on Octavia Ambiente?? Eg STP Power Steering Fluid.

 

The operation manual say to check the fluid on operation tempreture, does it mean 'cold engine' or 'hot engine' after driving??

Realise the power steering flud is low. Done some research and most said Pentosin CHF-11S is to be used.

 

Any experts cAn help? Do i meed to use that only or any steerin fluid off shelf? I cant find the above fluid.

 

Pls advise. Tks

Either brake fluid or the typical steering red fluid will do. Left 1 year only mai chap lah. Just go to your regular workshop ask mechanic top up foc. Steering fluid very cheap.

11S is also used in Saab and its not easy to find. I googled and found out amsoil power steering fluid is compatible.

 

I am using amsoil now and no problem.

Worst case scenario can use any automatic transmission fluid as hydraulic fluid.

I think power steering fluid will be hard to find soon since car makers now uses electrical power assisted steering. Since brakes uses the same application of hydraulic power might as well use brake fluid.
