    Thumbs up SLS guys - Pentosin CHF-4548 substitute?

    What is the correct, updated oil for the SLS system on these cars? Trying to revive a kaput system on a 745i here.

    Thanks!
    I make E23 parts.

    E24, E28 produced prior to 9/87
    Pentosin CHF 4548 was used for initial factory filling.
    For filling up and replacement the following oil is to be used:
    Pentosin CHF 7.1 BMW Part No. 81 22 1 468 879
    Pentosin CHF 4548 and CHF 7.1 can be mixed in these cars.
    For complete system oil replacement:
    Reputable brand name LHM oils (green color) can also be used (Shell, Castrol, Exxon, etc.)
    Note: Mixing of CHF and LHM oils is not permitted.
    As Pentosin CHF 7,1 is also NLA, you can use Febi Bilstein 06162
    Power Steering Fluid (Mineral, Febi Bilstein, 1 Liter)
    All-purpose high-performance hydraulic fluid formulated for central hydraulic systems such as power steering, rear axle steering, level control, hydro-pneumatic suspension, and shock absorbers.
    •Mineral oil-based
    •Size: 1 liter (1.06 quarts)
    •Color: Green
    •Equivalent of the discontinued Pentosin CHF 7.1

    The equivalent for Pentosin CHF 11S is Febi Bilstein 6161 synthetic

    I also use the Febi Bilstein 06162 in my E32 750 11/88, which was originally filled with Pentosin CHF7.1

    Perfect! Thanks, Shogun. If I am ever in Japan or you in the states, dinner is on me!
