Power Steering Hydraulic Oil

Anyone know if there's anything equivalent to the Audi recommended Pentosin G002000 hydraulic oil that can be more easily obtained?

I'm guessing this brand/spec can't be easily picked up at Pep Boys, Checkers, or AutoZone. So I was just wondering if there was something else I could get so I don't have to mail order it.

My local NAPA stocks it. Call around.

Call around, or just drive to your local VW dealer, as they carry it.

Pentosin CHF 11S is the generic hydraulic oil that is the Audi/VW G002000 fluid.

Can get it at NAPA. I have never seen it carried in a AutoZone or equivalent type parts store; must have the Pentosin 11S or the Audi G002000 designation on it to be equivalent. Generic "Power Steering" fluid is NOT OK to mix in your system!
