which mineral oil ?
My power steering is making noise and the mineral oil level is at the bottom of the tank. Which oil to use ? Oreilly Autoparts gave ATF1 automatic transmission oil which is fully Synthetic pentosin oil for 18 bucks a liter including tax. It's not correct is it?

Cool. That's the correct stuff. You can also use CHF 202 which is their newer product, less money and miscible w/CHF 11S.

NEVER use anything but the correct fluid in an Audi or VW! You will end up replacing the majority of your system. The steering rack is more than a grand, plus labor, plus the pump and labor. Can be way more than $2500 for a simple mistake. I've learned the hard way on one of my VW's.
