It delivers low compressibility for precise steering response, high corrosion protection to shield pumps and valves, and excellent lubrication that reduces wear even under high pressure. The fluid's strong adhesion prevents leaks and maintains performance over 100,000 km or 4 years in typical use.

• Practical benefits: Steers effortlessly in cold winters, stays stable in hot summers, and extends system life by resisting breakdown.
• Shelf life: Up to 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.
• Compatible vehicles: Audi A4/A6, BMW, MINI, Opel, and more European models from 1996-2008.

When to Use / Replace?

Use Febi Bilstein 06161 for top-ups or full flushes in power steering and hydraulic suspension systems. Replace every 60,000-100,000 km or every 3-4 years, or sooner if fluid darkens, foams, or steering feels heavy/noisy. Ideal for maintenance on high-mileage cars operating in extreme temps.

Pro tip: Drain old fluid completely, flush lines, and refill to avoid mixing, which cuts performance.
