Here's a picture of my V8 5.0l S500's engine bay...
Apart from being gratuitous engine porn, it has a more serious purpose... Just where exactly is the Power Steering Fluid reservoir?

I thought it would be useful to provide a legend for others, in case they're trying to work out where the washer fluid goes in etc...

Fantastic - I was about to top up the brake reservoir with power steering fluid ;-)

As for being "dirty" I thought I was doing well compared to my old 318i...
 
You could clean the engine bay... or simply stay in bed those extra few minutes. It's a question of priority and I have a slightly grimey engine bay.
 
Anybody know what kind of power steering fluid I can top this up with? Halfords say "refer to manual" or go to the stealer. Nothing in the manual. Any thoughts?
 
Dexron III compliant - be better off just getting it from the dealer - £8 a bottle?
