Steering Fluid CHF 11s

E92-M3 Alpine · 01-26-2023, 04:31 PM

Hi all, I’m seeing two types of Pentosin CHF 11s steering pump fluid.
One has CHF 11s in red text, the other is in white text…

Which is which, why are they the same but different?

Can’t seem to find any “real” info.
I did see something on the steering fluid reservoir having a green sticker on the cap and this is a different CHF 11s than other CHF 11s…
Not much confusion going on there

Thanks in advance.

Same exact fluid it’s just rebranded. Last time I had to get it from the dealer they gave me the one with red text and had to explain it’s just rebranded.

I think the chf11s with the red text is made in germany. the white text cans are not

Thanks All, I just decided to use the one i found in Auto zone. (white text) $42 a liter in case anyone else is looking...
Fluid is green which made me feel better about it.

Used it to replace fluid after installing the Turner Motors billet Steering reservoir. only used a 1/3 liter, so was plenty to do a flush and circulate a couple of times.
