These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello . I have 2000 C2 996 . I just wonder what type of generic power steering fluid I can use ? Any type ,or some special one ? Thank you in advance Vadim

POST 3Original post

DO NOT USE ANY GENERIC TYPE. You must use Pentosin CHF 11S. This is what is used and recommended by Porsche and no other fluid should be used. I recently bought some at a NAPA autoparts store but you should also be able to buy it from your local P dealer.

POST 4Original post

You can get it at almost any parts store. Most of the guys stare at you when you ask, but if you say it is in a green can with a red top, for some reason that rings a bell. It is a mineral based hydraulic fluid. Oh, and you thought Mobil 1 oil was expensive, lol, just wait till you buy a can of this stuff

POST 6Original post

Pentosin CHF 202 in the silver can replaces and is compatible with Pentosin CHF 11S. Yes, you can mix the two (It says right on the can that it can be mixed with CHF 11S).

POST 7Original post

Thanks to the info on where to buy. I just bought two cans of the CHF 11S at my local NAPA store. They knew of the product before I had time to explain the color of the can and the color of the top. They didn't have the CHF 202. I guess that they need to dispose of the existing stock. I paid $23.99 for each liter, but that is better than ebay at $18.00 plus $10.00 shipping. In my searches, I found that it is classified as a semi-synthetic oil. Quote from Pentosin: "Pentosin CHF 11S is a semi-synthetic power steering/level control fluid used in a broad range of European cars. It is unique in providing precise performance in a wide range of temperatures -40C to 150C (-40�F to 302�F). " Keith
