Default Power steering fluid. Must use OEM?
Hi, I need power steering fluid. I have read every post says to use dealer stuff. I know it must be synthetic but there isn't any stuff safe that I can buy from auto part store locally?

Pentosin CHF 11S :

I need it today? I can't buy anything that is safe in an auto part store? No Pennzoil synthetic power steering fluid would work? Nothing else?

Check with Autozone and Advance, they both list it on their web sites.

Presumably you would want to fill it with what is in there, but maybe it isn't what it is supposed to be anyway. I would stick to the Pentosin anyway after draining the most of what is in there, just do not add enough to fill the reservoir. Clean the hoses maybe it will not take long for the leak to show.
