Power Steering Flush?

Hi, I have read the procedure to flush power steering system. Looks easy enough. My question is this. I see 2 types of power steering fluid. The one that is in the procedure part number G 002 000, or the Pentosin Brand CHF 11S. I have a new unopened can of the 11S, and would like to use that if it works. Could somebody please let me know if this is acceptable?
Thanks

11S is the stuff. Sorry for the "duh" on the mirror selector switch :-) I suggest...

you have 3 liters handy. Two was adequate but if you are a bit overzealous with the starter it will not be enough. Also be prepared as that stuff is pumped through really fast.

Thanks for the confirmation. I thought so, but do not want to ruin the rack.

COMPLETED_Power Steering Flush?

This was a very simple job. My old fluid must have been original. 111,000 miles on the car and the fluid was horrible black color. The reason I wanted to change it in the first place is that the power steering pump is groaning in low speed full turns. The groan is still there, but much quieter now with new fluid.
