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

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***

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...

Always check your owner's manual to confirm the correct fluid is being used for the vehicle.

Interesting, Nissan also. There is a Nissan shop close to my home. Maybe they got a new customer out of convenicence ;)
Anybody knows by chance the Nissan part number?

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.

$19.81 plus tax @ NAPA

[zhandax]

Add a low sales tax rate to everything else I miss about living in Florida. Here the rate is 9.75% which puts that can from NAPA at $21.74 out the door. That's not particularly punitive, but the local branch is closed on weekends which is when I have time to go there. Guess a new reservoir and hose is in order since i have been going through at least a can a year.
