substitute for convertible top hydraulic fluid

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
The reservoir on the pump for my top is getting pretty close to the bottom mark on the reservoir. I'm looking for a generic name or substitute brand for the pump fluid. Did a quick search but couldn't find anything. Anybody have any suggestions ?
I know I can always order a litre of the stuff from Jaguar ...but its $$$$ and seems a waste when I just need an egg cup full

That is what Pentosin CHF-11S is. But the system can be touchy if the viscosity of the fluid is not correct and the CHF-11S is identical to what Jaguar provides repackaged.

If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

Fill the fluid to the top line it makes no difference if the roof is open or closed. I have tested it and the difference between open or closed roof is minute.
