Re: Power Stering Fluid? Posted by REM in Seattle [Email] (#4) [Profile/Gallery] (more from REM in Seattle) on Tue, 12 Jun 2001 13:49:31 In Reply to: Power Stering Fluid?, Robert, Tue, 12 Jun 2001 13:42:27 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
In 1997 or 1998, SAAB changed to "Pentosin CHF-11S" power steering fluid. Your owners manual should tell the type of power steering fliud recommended by SAAB. Pentosin CHF-11S is a synthetic fluid with better cold and hot temperature characteristics. It is also used by Audi, BMW, and Mercedes.
You can get Pentosin CHF-11S from the SAAB dealer (or Audi or BMW) or from some import car specialty stores. The Pentosin CHF-11S does not appear to be compatible with most other Power Steering fluids.
Your other option would be to completely flush the power steering system and change to the brand of your choice.
