Nothing to screw up.
So what ATF fluid is the correct fluid for the power steering system? Dexron III or Dexron VI, Mercon, ZF Lube guard? Redline D4?

It was a lot simpler when it was just Pentosin CHF 11s.

I dont believe there is a specification for which ATF to use. I've always used mobil 1 synthetic ATF. I think the CHF11 cars are the ones with SLS and they use the CHF11 for the compressor.


OP-if you are leaking, there is a gasket on the PS Resivoir cap. Its very hard to see adn its very thin but its there. I've had issues on all of mine with that seeping.

I am also pretty sure mine is seeping at the intercooler as well. Do you have to replace those hoses or is there a gasket inside you can replace?

Yea I know mine says for sure, 100%, Chf-11s. Which is not ATF, and should not be mixed.

The new SLS cars do not use hydraulic fluid like the old cars to level the car. The compressor is an electrical compressor that pump air to the air bag suspension.

Oops now you got everyone that put ATF in the power steering system going outside to check that it did say ATF on the cap.

As they should. People shouldn't blindly trust things they read on the internet. Some vehicles used Chf-11s, others used ATF (Dexron). The vehicles are labelled as to which fluid to use. And you can't mix Dexron into a system with Chf-11s in it, the fluids aren't compatible with each other.
