Since our power steering fluid is "Mineral Oil" ONLY and there are no OTC brands (dealer only).....

My car steers as smooth as a babies bum.
I want scented, thank you ;-)
So this CH 11S doesn't qualify for your "MY2003 Fluid"? I know pentosin is literally VW/Audi OEM, but I lean towards the Motul stuff right now.
Hey. What about coolant? I know Pentosin is obvious. Motul has 2 types though; Inugel Expert Ultra and Inugel Optimal Ultra (green or orange respectively - take your pick).

Good news; I picked up some my Motul stuff today; Gear 300 tranny oil and DOT 5.1 brake fluid. My 5 liters of their 8100 X-cess 5W-40 comes in tomorrow. It was also cool to find an auto parts place in Los Angeles that actually had their stuff displayed on the floor (on a special Motul stand no less). I know you're jealous. It was like the "Holy [shelf] Grail" of motor oils/fluids. And can you beleive their 300 V 5W-40 100% ester racing oil is around $25 for 2 liter metal tin?!? But then FUCHS ProS 5W-40 is $48 for 5 liter. Good racing stuff.

Blue coolant is for old cars, orange for new.Import exotic oil's nice if used for extended drains...
You should definately post the name of that place on BitOG. You know my screename is TSoA there, I gut a lot of **** for repeating how my mechanic hates Mobil 1 (15w-50) and uses Syntec 5w-50 by the drum. Basicly, super-boosted Porsche race motors blow on the M1 and not the Syntec with the same CPU logs. One car at the shop, a 944T had the track stickers on it, blown engine on the floor and the red-label M1 jug clearly visible in the hatch area. With the "expert" right there saying "Mobil 1 sucks", I tend to believe him.
