I read somewhere that you can use other kinds of hydraulic oil in place of mineral oil CHF 11S. Is that true? Thanks.

Commonly used substitutes for Pentosin CHF 11S include Mobil DTE 13 M, Rykon Premium 32 from Chevron and Shell's Tellus 32T. None of these substitutes match exactly the performance specs of Pentosin--mainly in the range of temperatures where the oil will retain all its properties. Generally, if you're not using the car in ambient temperatures below something like minus 32 F (32 below zero) or above something near 120 F, these three should substitute OK. I've used the Shell product repeatedly when I've had emergency leakage from Audi PS pumps in 5k, V8 and 200 models. It's the only one I could purchase locally in a 5-gallon pail (about $40 several years ago).
