(If you've ever owned a British car you know
PAS = Power Assisted Steering, which I've used in the title for brevity)
This mechanic with 20+ years experience recommends using AMSOIL synthetic ATF as power steering fluid instead of the factory recommended Pentosin CHF 11S. Has anyone else ever tried this? And please, I'm only looking for those with direct knowledge on the matter.
I don't want non-technical input like, "I just don't think it's a good idea to veer from the factory recommendation." OK? Please. I don't want to hear opinions! (as that adds nothing of substance to the topic)
Also I find it interesting that you can buy the Mercedes factory PAS fluid for almost half the price of Pentosin CHF 11S!!! I wonder why.
