Default Is OEM power steering fluid actually Pentosin CHF 11S?

I actually need it for the MINI, which I know it comes from the factory with Pentosin CHF 11S. I also know that this is the same spec for Audi and VW. So I called the local VW dealer and asked the parts guy if he has Pentosin CHF 11S power steering fluid in stock. He had no idea what I was asking for. (Had never heard of Pentosin - don't they make the G12 coolant also?) So I asked what kind power steering fluid do they have. He said it is the OEM fluid and comes in a bottle with "VW" written on it.

So does anyone know for certain if the VW/Audi OEM fluid is Pentosin? Yes I could get it from BMW but the dealer is nowhere near me. Could also order it online but would rather get it quicker if possible and not pay $10 to ship.

FWIW I also called Autozone and Advance and neither carries it.

Default That's what I use.

Lots of claims that it's the factory fill, but no documentation.
