What Mike J said, then when you refill, start the car, & move the wheel L/R quite a few time, to circulate the fluid, then repeat till the fluid is clean.

Last time I did the "flush" it took 2l of fluid.

Just a note...Pentosin's site now lists CHF 11F as a replacement for the CHF202.
Brought a litre home from the auto parts store this morning...$35.00, YIKES.

Jim,

The factory website does not jive with your post. It says the opposite is true. The CHF 202 was about $15.00.

Hey Mike, your correct, my parts guy has dyslexia! In any case it would seem that both fluids are used by Porsche, or at least were in the past. There was some discussion on this forum of one vs the other...see link

But either has to be better than the red ATF fluid I sucked out of there!

I bought one of these at Lowes for under $25. Lots of uses.
