It may not take a lot of fluid to fill your reservoir. Add in VERY small amounts, ounces really, while continually checking the level.

Mine wasn't registering on the dipstick either, so when I started to pour in the same CHF 202 you have, it almost immediately started to overfill and pour out of the filler tube. Had to go get a medicine syringe (get them at drug stores, or a turkey baster works too) to pull the fluid out to get it down to a normal level.

And since the old fluid coming out was some dingy shade, I would use the medicine syringe and pull out all the fluid I could, refill with the same amount, turn the car on and turn the wheel to full lock both ways several times, turn the car off, and do the fluid exchange again. I did this continually until the fluid coming out looked the same as the fluid going in. Took a while, but worth it. The old fluid was probably the factory fill.
