Flushed my power steering fluid today. Used Febi S6161 (equiv. to CHF 11S). Anyone...

used this fluid over the 11S? It's a few bucks cheaper and apparently made by Pentosin!
The flush itself was done like the one from the A8 pages website and quite simple. The one suggestion is to have the person starting and stopping the engine in short bursts to also turn the steering wheel to allow all of the fluid trapped in the rack to escape. I've been told that not doing this allows old fluid to remain in there until the car is driven again and then it gets mixed with the new stuff.
That said the old fluid was quite black and a good feeling to get fresh stuff in there.
