Pentosin

[Kneale Brownson]

When Audi introduced 11S, the instructions were that it could be mixed with
older stuff to top up an hydraulic system, but that the older stuff should
not be added to a system containing 11S.  General list consensus has been
that the main functional difference between the two is that the systhetic
has a greater operating temperature range, so the older stuff should not be
used in significantly cold regions.
