Power Steering Fluid Question, needs simple Answer
Hey fellas,
It's not mentioned in the owners manual and I've been looking for this info for a couple of days now. I circled where I think it goes but I need it to be confirmed.

Halt! You’ve circled where oil is added to the engine.
The power steering fluid reservoir is directly below there, behind the pump’s belt-driven pulley.
Use only Pentosin CHF 11S should topping up be necessary.

Look at the picture I attached. The reservoir cap is exactly where the arrow points. It is physically lower than the driver's side cold air intake hose. Now a question for you - exactly what is your avitar a photo of?

Thanks guys. I checked online for Pentosin and it's pretty cheap throughout the US +-25$ but around here it's really hard to find so I'll order it through MB, easily double the price.
One more thing, I filled up the reservoir with a local product that I would like to remove/drain out. How do I go about emptying out the reservoir? My neighbor who I'm cool with has a lift in his garage so that should make the process a little easier...
