R50/53 How much power steering fluid?
Power steering fluid
[QUOTE=climbingaggie03;4456363]1 liter/quart should do it. At $20-$25/bottle, it's a good thing it only takes
I just looked up the price of the CHS11 power steering fluid and it has gone up to $41.00. It used to be $21.00 prior the pandemic !! Thats crazy!!

$41??! - "CRAZY" is an understatement!!
When I flushed my PS system after replacing the hoses back in 2018, I paid $17/liter for Penton CHF 11S. I wasn't sure how much I needed - so I bought 3 liters. I still have 1-3/4 liters left over. One; can unopened and the remaining 3/4 sealed with nitrogen to keep out air and moisture.
Wow - that was 7 years and 30k mi ago. Might be time for another flush (?)...@$41/liter...I hope the left-over 3/4 is still good. Should I need it.

recommended shelf life on an unopened can is 5 years.

[QUOTE=Jonny;4692015]Good to know. - I should've also read the info on the can.
Notwithstanding...
Coincidentally; I recently helped a young lady jump start her 2009 Camry with my portable Noco. Afterwards; while the engine was running, I noticed "chocolate milkshake" bubbling excessively from her ATF reservoir as she attempted (for whatever reason), to add more. It only seemed obvious to me, that the ATF was completely inhibited with moisture/water and needed attention or at the very least needed a fluid flush/change.
This kinda circles back to my point (in my mind), with regards to how often should the CHF PS fluid should be changed (?)...I've pulled a (30k) sample from the reservoir and it still appears green and genrally clear.
I'll have to make it a point to consult the Bentley again, soon...

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-pentosin...er/chf11s~pts/ Thats the price
Febi stuff I used is a little bit cheaper: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-febi-par...290429576~feb/
It gets really brown with age and used.
