996 Cabriolet Hydraulic Fluid

I have a 1999 911 (996) cabriolet and I'm replacing the passenger side hydraulic cylinder (leaking). What is the recommended hydraulic fluid? I have some Pentosin CHF 11s fluid on hand is it ok to use?
Thanks Bob

The oil speced for the top is Porsche part # 000-043-204-89 (Amazon sells it). Pentosin CHF11S is power steering fluid.
