Working on a RLer's 928, he brought over the belt and fluid to install on his car. The power steering fluid is Pentosin CHF 202 Power Steering Fluid (green). All these years I always heard to use ATF and not PS fluidas it will destroy the rack. So I called the dealer to double check and the parts counter guy insisted that the Pentosin is the approved fluid for Porsche. I asked him twice just be sure.

Was he wrong?

maybe a new porsche?

That's what I'm thinking too. But what really great me of was that I asked him twice if he is 100% sure that the Pentosin is the correct one for the 928 and he said without a doubdt YES.
I only used Dextron in the past. WSM says Dextron, so I'm staying with Dextron. That's what was in this rack before too.

good plan. i wonder if that guy has even SEEN a 928.... :-) "its says for Porsche, 928 is a Porsche, so it must be good for it"

Interesting that Vertex also lists it for the 928:

Pentosin PDF only mentions the Cayenne 2006+ for the 202 fluid:

Dextron has worked in our cars for the last 35+ years...seems like it's doing it's job A-OK.

At 1/4 the price.

I just get whatever Dexron/Mercon III suits my fancy at the FLAPS.

And wouldn't the synthetic fluid be more prone to leak or present that risk?

I've been using Dex VI for 3 or 4 years now. Really lightens up the steering.

Haters can hate, but I did a flush and fill using this, car still hits 2nd with a chirp while hammering on it, and shifts smooth as silk when being nice, ..

Oh yeah, I use it in the PS also, no hard steering, no growling, and truth be known, my PS system stopped leaking, ...still have New hoses and reservoir in the box, .
