Can I use this in place of regular power steering fluid?

Only if your vehicle specifically calls for Pentosin CHF 11S or an equivalent synthetic hydraulic fluid. Many European vehicles require it, but using it in a system designed for conventional ATF-based power steering fluid is not recommended.

Is CHF 11S the same as CHF 202?

They are different formulations, but Pentosin states that CHF 11S and CHF 202 are fully compatible and can be mixed. CHF 11S is the newer specification and is generally recommended for vehicles that originally used CHF 202.

How much fluid does a typical power steering system hold?

Most passenger vehicles hold between 0.5 and 1.5 liters of power steering fluid total. This 1-liter bottle is enough for a top-off or partial flush. A full system flush may require two bottles depending on the vehicle.

Product Details

Pentosin CHF 11S is the factory-fill hydraulic fluid that over 25 vehicle manufacturers trust from the assembly line. If you drive a European vehicle — particularly BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, or Porsche — there is a strong chance this is the exact fluid your power steering system was built to use.

Beyond power steering, CHF 11S is also specified for rear axle steering, level control systems, hydro-pneumatic suspension, and shock absorbers on compatible vehicles. The synthetic base stock performs reliably across a wide temperature range, from -40 degrees Celsius up to over 130 degrees Celsius, which covers everything from cold-morning startups to sustained highway driving in summer heat. This 1-liter bottle (1.06 quarts) is typically enough for a top-off or partial flush on most applications.

One critical note: never mix CHF 11S with ATF (automatic transmission fluid). The two are not interchangeable even though they may look similar. CHF 11S is fully compatible with CHF 202 if you need to top off a system that previously used that older specification.
