I know the power steering cap says "CHF 11" but I'm just wondering what other E60 members are using i.e. brand, cost, where do you buy it.
I noticed mines is a little low.

pentosin CHF-11 is available at Napa and a few other places. It's also available at most European car dealer part counters. do not substitute, it's not like other cars that use ATF or other fluids.

Average price online for a liter of Pentosin CHF-11 seems to be $20-25 + shipping.
I'll check a few local auto stores NAPA, Auto zone and see if they carry it.

Pentosin CHF 202 is compatible with CHF 11S. I just bought some from BavAuto yesterday. It's not on their site, but they have it - just give them a call.
