Designed for vehicle owners and professional mechanics maintaining German and European automotive hydraulic systems, this synthetic green fluid provides superior performance for power steering, suspension, and traction control units. It offers reliable low-temperature fluidity and advanced corrosion protection to extend the lifespan of seals and pumps; however, users must strictly verify vehicle compatibility against the manufacturer's specific fluid standards to prevent system damage.

No. Mixing synthetic green hydraulic fluid with red mineral-based fluid can cause chemical reactions that destroy seals and damage the pump.
Yes, it meets BMW 81.22.9.407.758 standards, but always cross-reference your specific chassis code with the manual.
Wipe the area thoroughly with a degreaser. Hydraulic fluid can damage painted surfaces and rubber hoses if left to soak.
If kept in a sealed container in a cool place, it has a long shelf life. Do not use if the bottle seal was previously broken or if the fluid shows signs of sediment.
No, this is specifically for hydraulic power steering systems. Electric power steering units do not require hydraulic fluid.
Air may be trapped in the system; perform a full steering lock-to-lock procedure while the engine is running to bleed the air, or check for a loose intake hose.
This indicates contamination or oxidation; perform a complete system flush and replace with fresh Carlube fluid.
To ensure proper performance, always check your vehicle's owner manual for the specific fluid standard (e.g., VW TL52146 or Citroen LDS). Never mix this synthetic fluid with standard red power steering fluids or conventional mineral-based oils, as this can cause sludge formation and catastrophic pump failure. When adding fluid, ensure the reservoir is clean to prevent debris from entering the high-pressure system. If performing a full system flush, ensure the old fluid is completely drained before adding fresh liquid. Always store in a cool, dry place and dispose of the used container and fluid at an authorized hazardous waste collection point.
