Power Steering fluid question
Can I use non Audi official dealership power steering fluid in my 2003 A6 3.0 Quattro?
Help is greatly appreciated. I am still new to the Audi ownership experience (3 months) and I don't want to ruin my power steering pump.
Sincerly,

Why do you need it? Leak? Check the cooler lines.
I'd run only the Audi stuff. While Sloop is right, finding a fluid that meets audi spec is not always easy...especially when many auto parts stores are happy to recommend and sell the wrong fluid.

The reason that I need to add power steering fluid is that I put new cylinder heads on my A6 with 3.0 AVK engine. Doing so, I needed to take off the power steering hose resulting in an ounce or so of power steering fluid leaking out.

$16.95 OEM Power Steering fluid 1 L ... dealer price $28 +tax
It needs 2 L to change the whole PS.
