This issue has will hopefully be put to rest.  Here is the TSB as
originally posted.
Look up the specs for Mobil DTE-13M Mineral oil  which costs from $30-$45
for a 5 gallon pail, those numbers might look familiar.  There are
listers who have used DTE-13M for years as a Pento$in substitute with no
adverse effects, even in the V8Q which calls for the pricey synthetic
Pento$in.  Ask any lubricant specialist, and they'll tell you if the
specs are close it's interchangeable.

Subj:   G002000 7.1 and 7.11s hydraulic fluid

This post is in regards to the mixing, filling and/or replacement of 7.1
(non
synthetic mineral hydraulic fluid) and 7.11S (synthetic mineral hydraulic

fluid). The audi Technical Service Bulletin indicates that these two
fluids
are interchangeable.

AUDI TSB reference Bullitens thru 1993 (issued Oct 1994)
Audi tech bulletin 48-89-T07, Nov '89 (EXACTLY QUOTED)
"HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUID - NEW TYPE
Hydraulic system fluid has been improved as of M.Y. 1990

New: Hydraulic Fluid, part number unchanged.
This fluid is more temperature resistant
Color: Olive

Old: Hydraulic Fluid, PN 002 000
Color: Green

The new hydraulic fluid can be identified by the RED cap on the container

Note: New and old hydraulic fluid can be mixed if necessary"

Do NOT mix either 7.1 or 7.11 mineral oil in audi hydraulic systems which

call for "Dexron Automatic Transmission Fluid". The ATF hydraulic systems
are
usually identified by the metal resevoir, the mineral oil 7.1 and 7.11s
hydraulic systems are usually identified by the plastic resevoir. ATF
application are usually found on the older 4000, Urq and pre 84 hydraulic

systems (USA). The 7.1 non synthetic mineral oil fluid is usually found
in
all 1984> 1989 audi 500/200 cars (USA) The new 7.11 fluid is found from
the
factory in some M.Y. 1990 audis, and all 1991> audis. Given the better
heat
resistant characteristics of the 7.11s (synthetic mineral oil) fluid, it
is
the preferred fluid for all audi applications specifying G 00 2 000
mineral
oil hydraulic fluid.

If you have any questions regarding the application for your specific
car,
please consult either your owners manual, the label on your resevoir, or
your
audi dealer.
