    Hi Everyone,
    02 360 F1 owner here that enjoys reading posts and opinions from everyone…the latest topic to grab my attention is the conversations about what F1 fluid to use since Shell stopped making the recommended product a while ago. Is there any new or updated fluids people are using now that hasn’t been discussed? I’m located in London Canada and would like something easily obtained locally that is of high quality.
    Thanks! Americo.

    Petronas Tutela CS Speed was the original recommended fluid for F1 systems. Still use it in mine. $40-60/liter, but it was designed for selespeed systems.

    I have a red fluid in it now...contemplating a full flush and fill or using a syringe to remove and top up like I've read in other posts. It has 34000km on it and has had one F1 fluid flush in it's service history since day 1.

    The Donax TX replacement (is this what your car is calling for) is available in bulk quantities. LubeFinder repackages it in 1L bottles. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive option either.

    I feel much better doing this than random ATFs. The cost of fixing any leaks in the F1 system will far outweigh the cost of the fluid.

    Not random picks ..I did the research.. the Castrol is a safe bet when you are concerned about seals
