Do I have to use pentosin chf11s?
As per title guys
Im going to do a power steering fluid change. I know BMW recommend to use pentosin but a quick ebay search brings up loads of other brands. Now my question is, does it matter what brand I use? Thanks |

no no
what I meant was can I use other branded companies which do the chf11s? or does it have to be by pentosin. A quick search on ebay brings up loads of chf11s variants other than pentosin so I was wondering if its ok to purchase. |

Hmm I didn't realize there were other brands making chf11s. Is the price point that significant not to use the original? I would just use the OEM brand.

I've used the Fuchs Titan 4300 B to completely flush my PS fluid. Same fluid as the Pentosin CHF11S. No issues.

was just wondering if its ok to use a different branded chf11s rather than pentosin brand. Its still gonna be chf11s but just not made by pentosin. |

As I am doing my research for power steering fluid I learned the following:
pentosin CH202 and CH11S containers state that they are compatible for mixing with the other. To me it means I can use either that is readily available regardless of what my power steering cap says. Anyone else care to comment? http://www.germanautoparts.com/Chemicals/Steering |

Correct. CHF202 supersedes 11S and is fully backward compatible. I used 202 in my car and it's totally fine.
