So I need power steering fluid and the dealerships are closed in BF Tennessee
What autoparts stores stock pentosin and I read Mobil 1 ATF fluid was fine to use per a thread by Audi Junkie. Is there anything else i can use in an emergency? I have a 500 mile trip ahead of me :-/

Super hot fluid from low volume is probally the worst for seals.
So...when can we "renew" the oil faqs? The existing ones are horrible. The simplest would be 5w-40 synth/VW502 recommendation for 1.8t and dino/blend/synth 40 weight for V6 and I-5. And a short explaination of "w"-ratings would put AWers knowledge above 85% of car guys out there. The existing faqs with basestock drivel is so 20th century. Mobil 1 nor any otc oils are PAO (G-IV) base anymore. Honda has a new HT-06 test for the ir turbo 2.3 RDX and many otc oils will carry that spec. Likely a very good oil for 1.8t. Seriously, the currents faqs are tedious, inaccurate, uninformative and out-dated. Must go.
