Power steering fluid. I want to do a fluid change without a flush to see if my light and occasional steering vibrations go away. Of course, it can't be simple....
-2010 owners manual says to top off with Pentosin CHF202
-2009-2012 workshop manual says to use Dextron III with zero mention of Pentosin CHF202
I can't find any info if they are/are not compatible.
I don't know what's in there now. It's a reddish brown color. I doubt that it has been changed. It looks old but not terribly contaminated.
Any insight before I call the dealer service and ask? Thanks.

The Pentosin CHF 202 spec sheet says that the color is dark green.

The spec sheet makes no claim that the fluid can serve as ATF.
I would follow the Dexron 3 recommendation per the repair manual.

now the ignorant question. Any old name brand Dextron 3 ATF or is there a special dextron 3 for power steering pumps? Looking online, the PS fluids aren't specifying dextron 3.
thanks

Then maybe it should be left alone.
If the issue is that the steering power assist seems to bog down a little when the engine is at idle speed, I would say that is "normal" behavior.

Mobil 1 ATF. Here's the link to the work including cleaning the reservoir.

Yeah, also don't forget to clean the reservoir. Kind of a dumb idea to cage the filter inside so it's not removable to clean.

Since replacing the fluid I've not had any problems with the PS system.

So, wanting something to top off my power steering, I looked at the owners manual for the fluid spec and ordered some CHF202. When it arrived I noticed CHF202 is green. Then I noticed this old thread. Then I realised I'd wasted my money and I'll have another tin of something gathering dust forever at the back of the shed.
Why does the MY10 owner's manual specify CHF202, which can't be mixed with DIII, when the service manual for the same era specifies Dexron III?
