Hydraulic fluid type for roof pump?
Gentlemen:
The fluid level in the reservoir is below the minimum level. Can someone tell me what type of hydraulic fluid should I use to top it up? TIA. |
The current standard is Pentosin CHF11S which is green in color. What color is the fluid currently in your system?
|
I might be captain obvious here. If the reservoir is low there is a reason for the loss of fluid. These systems don't naturally consume/lose fluid. Start looking for a leak somewhere at all the known failure points.

I remember topping it up at least 3 years ago, but forgot what fluid I'd used. |
I hope the UNIVIS was already flushed from your system in the past when the TSB (501-33am) was issued to flush and replace that fluid.
The 1997 to 1999 conv used UNIVIS and the 2000MY onward used Pentosin CHF 11S |

I do not know if the previous owner(s) has flushed the UNIVIS. The last time I topped it up at least 3 years ago was with Pentosin CHF 11S. The fluid in the reservoir now is green in color like Pentosin, This is the current state. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...32023d28c5.jpg The roof will raise/lower with about a 20 second delay due to the low fluid level. BTW, I got myself a new can of fluid and the name is now called FUCHS Titan CHF 11S. If I proceed with the flush, would one Litre of fluid be enough? https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...5767e5f92f.jpg |
UNIVIS is YELLOW.
The (Central Hydraulic Fluid) CHF11S is GREEN |

The (Central Hydraulic Fluid) CHF11S is GREEN I'd simply go ahead with topping it up with CHF 11S. Wish me the best of luck... |
