    Pentosin CHF11S is a good hydraulic fluid also recommended by some as an alternative for F1 fluid. Should work fine for your application. Works especially well at low temperatures, which is why it has been recommended by Volvo and Saab for power steering applications.

    Based on threads for the past 15 years or so, both CH11S and the Mercedes fluid are popular choices and work fine.

    I have an extra brand new bottle of the Mercedes fluid if someone wants it. Just pay shipping.

    That is the incorrect fluid for Ferrari convertible tops. Ferrari recommends the use of Mercedes Benz ZH-M fluid, which is the fluid that Fred depicted in post #6. You can get it from you local Benz dealer or from Amazon. Pentosin CH11S might work, but it is not what Ferrari put in the top systems.
