Default Who has had their power steering fluid replaced

Why? What was the result? Apparently there is a new blend that is supposed to be better....???

Default I wanted to use Red Line's PSF, but they did not have an equal for it...

Audi calls for a Pentosin fluid in their power steering units, which they did not have a cross for.

Who has this new blend; Audi?

Yes...they want to try it my car to try to cure a severe engine/transmission vibration (!?!?!?)

Sounds completely implausible, but was wondering if anyone here had had it done yet for one reason or another.

They have developed it to prevent aeration from occurring, which has apparently been one of the causes of a number of premature power steering pump failures and grinding and groaning noises from the steering.

That is strange. Never heard of the problem.
