Confusing power steering fluid for N46

[ookii 2]

My power steering reservoir has a ATF yellow sticker on it written in japanese.  Should I be using 81 22 9 400 272 rather than CHF 11S?

Cap is usually correct

Grab a bit out of the resevoir and the colour will confirm. Atf is dark red

Thanks team! Appreciate it.

Does anyone know what's the alternative part number for the ATF above? I rang BMW and they don't have it in stock and asked me to just buy one from Repco or Supercheap. But, none of these shops have the compatible ATF

Is it just me that finds this advice coming from a stealership quite amusing 🤣

Nothing special about the system, any ATF will work fine. Buy some reputable synthetic ATF (Valvoline Maxlife ATF at Bunnings etc is a good well priced option)  .

Main thing is to make sure you flush the system or do a number of drain and refills to get most of the old stuff out and the colour looking good.

Thanks Eagle! Its exactly what I bought. In case someone needs a reference from Valvoline
