CRP Automotive Pentosin CHF 11S Synthetic Hydraulic Fluid — 5 L, -40°C to +130°C temperature range, anti-foaming

Pentosin CHF 11S is a long-life synthetic hydraulic fluid formulated for modern automotive hydraulic systems, delivering reliable performance from -40°C to +130°C.

Pentosin CHF 11S (5 liter) is engineered for vehicles that demand top-tier hydraulic fluid performance—often the exact fluid specified by OEMs for systems like power steering, hydro-pneumatic suspension, convertible-top hydraulics, and level control. This synthetic formula meets numerous manufacturer approvals and OE reference numbers, making it a direct-fit replacement for many European and global makes including Audi, BMW, Mercedes‑Benz, Porsche, Volvo and more. The product is supplied in a single 5 L container and is optimized to preserve system responsiveness in both extreme cold starts and high-temperature operating conditions.

How does Pentosin CHF 11S support steering and suspension systems?

CHF 11S is designed to maintain consistent viscosity and lubrication across a wide temperature range, ensuring smooth actuator movement and stable damping in steering and suspension components. Its synthetic base and additive package reduce wear and help avoid foam and aeration that can impair hydraulic control.

• Stable viscosity from -40°C to +130°C for predictable performance
• Anti-foaming and anti-aeration properties for reliable control
• Additives that protect seals and moving parts against wear

Will this fluid fit my vehicle’s OEM requirements?

Pentosin CHF 11S carries multiple OEM approvals and reference numbers, so it often matches the specification required by the manufacturer. Check your vehicle’s service manual or the OEM reference list to confirm compatibility before filling or topping up.

• Includes common OE references for Audi, BMW, Mercedes‑Benz, Porsche, Volvo and others
• Approvals like ZF TE-ML 02K, DIN 51524 T3 and manufacturer-specific approvals
• Often used as the original-equipment fluid without the brand label

How should I use and store the 5 L container?

The 5 liter container is sized for service-level refills or multiple top-ups and should be stored sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use clean funnels or pumps when transferring to avoid contamination and always follow vehicle manufacturer fill and bleed procedures.

• Store upright, sealed, away from heat and moisture
• Use clean dispensing tools to prevent dirt ingress
• Observe vehicle-specific fill quantities and maintenance intervals

What performance conditions can I expect in extreme temperatures?

CHF 11S maintains fluidity and hydraulic function in very low temperatures and retains protective properties at high operating thermal loads. That makes it suitable for vehicles subjected to cold winters and high-heat environments without sacrificing steering feel or suspension response.

• Guaranteed performance down to -40°C for cold starts
• Functional stability up to +130°C under heavy use
• Reduces risk of seal hardening and oil breakdown across extremes

Who is this for: Professional technicians, independent garages, and DIY owners of European and global vehicles with hydraulic systems that list CHF 11S or compatible OE numbers. It suits anyone seeking a factory-grade synthetic fluid for steering, hydro-pneumatic suspension, convertible-top hydraulics, central locking systems, or other vehicle hydraulic circuits where long-life, temperature-stable performance and OEM approvals matter.
