Had a search on here and other places but can’t find a definitive answer. I need to top up my power steering fluid and the recommended is Shell spirax S1ATF TASA. Does anybody know of an alternative to this as I’m finding it difficult to source. 2014 Ghibli

Yeah. It’s quite rare, you can buy it in a 20 litre bucket. The S4 is very close.

These people decant it into a smaller bottle, for a fee of course.

So I’m blooming confused. Zep, the Spirax S1 on eBay is out of stock so I’m looking at Dexron 4 atf but all I can find is dexron V1 or atf 4 or +4. Any help is much appreciated.

From the spec sheet. It’s what’s known and a type a suffix a ATF. Get something with with Type A suffix A or Mercedes Benz 236.2 on it and you will be fine.
