    E34 hydraulic fluid dilemma

    Ok so im driving e34 tds touring (it was originally with self leveling system but now its with normal struts and springs) so i was checking the hydraulic fluid and it was at the bottom and the color of the fluid is red but on the cap its written chf11s wich is Green. My question is what will be the best for my hydraulic System at the Moment
    1. To change from red to green
    2.keep the red (till now I didn't had any Problems with the System)
    I already bought 1l of green fluid but i red that the difference between green and red is the viscosity so If I go from red(the heavy) to Green (the Light oil) will my hydraulic pump gonna broke and the system also or no? (sorry for my english)

    keep the red ATF one, as you deleted the rear self levelling shocks, so you now have basically just the power steering pump, and that works with normal ATF.
