ptschram said:I can get Pentosin at the local Napa, the other stuff is seemingly unobtainable at any cost around ehre and I can't justify buying it and shipping it in from overseas.
JohnB said:Well that sucks. When I had to get some from Rover a few months back. I asked the counter guy if Pentosin would work. He said he honestly doesn't know but told me that in the past they were having a hard time getting the Rover stuff and all the techs were running around like chickens not knowing what to do. I've brought up this point before that my distributer IMC carries most brand be it Pentosin Febi Lubro Moly. If you need Pentosin for a VW or BMW you have many choices. If you need Rover they only list genuine(which they never have). You would think they would figure this out. Since Rover doesn't have a break down of what is in that bottle we will never know.

Perhaps an MSDS might be a good idea.

JohnB said:Yes they have no clue. Even the BMW Rasmussen guys think they are all a little angry but they never make any money. I really don't even know how they stay in business.
thats the stuff.ptschram said:CHF-11S?
Yes, power steering and ACE, but in this case, just power steering.
Urban Panzer said:I use ATF in my PAS, will use it soon in the ACE to.
Dexron II or III spec ATF is in the workshop manual for the ACE, so it should be fine in the PAS unless you live where its -20? or more on regular occassions.
