Message: <blockquote data-quote="Grand" data-source="post: 423259" data-attributes="member: 6501">My E60 comes with active steering. My previous E39 uses the same red oil which many mechanics have. But when I saw that the colour of the oil in the power steering reservoir is not red, I thought better to be cautious on the safe side. May just have to approach some of the reputed BM workshop and ask them to top up for me. However my intention of asking this question is to buy the correct oil in a small bottle to be on the standby. For the record, there is no leakage nor wet hoses in the engine bay. The level could have dropped after some time of usage by the previous owner. I just felt more secured if the oil level is at max or near max. Did anyone here have the habit of keeping a bottle of power steering oil on the standby? Not that I want to "borrow" some of your oil but may be can share what is the brand and specs written on the bottle to assist me to buy the correct one. :wink:</blockquote>
