Purpose and Specifications

SWAG 99 90 6161 is a premium synthetic green hydraulic oil designed for power steering, convertible tops, and central hydraulic systems in vehicles from Audi, VW, Citroen, Ford, Opel, and more. This 1-liter bottle matches top specs like Pentosin CHF 11-S, VW TL 52146, and ZF TE-ML 02K, ensuring smooth steering and reliable hydraulic performance.

As a full synthetic fluid, it stays fluid in cold starts down to -40°C for easy winter operation and holds thick at high temps up to 130°C, protecting pumps and seals from wear during hot drives or heavy loads. Its low density of 0.83 g/ml makes it lightweight yet tough, with a high flash point over 160°C for safety.

When to Use / Replace?

Use SWAG 99 90 6161 in compatible European cars for crisp steering response and quiet hydraulic operation. Replace every 80,000 to 120,000 km or 4-5 years to prevent stiff steering, leaks, or pump noise - check your owner's manual for exact intervals. Shelf life is 3-5 years unopened in cool storage.

• Ideal for daily commutes, highways, or towing where temps swing from freezing winters to hot summers.
• Flush old fluid if switching from mineral oils to avoid mixing issues.
