I assume it is the Mobil DTE-13M

  Sounds to me like he is saying that IF red fluid is leaking, then Esso (Exxon?) Fluid J13 can be substitued. Otherwise if your reservoir is marked G000200, you really need to use Pentosin or the Mobil equivalent mentioned in the archives (never went that route, so I don't have the fluid #, Brett Dikeman has posted it several times if that aids your search).

    Max,

    So the "Esso Univis J13" PS fluid can be substituted
    for the green gold liquid?

    If so, I assume that substitute is cheaper. Where can
    we get it? Any local autopart store?

    TIA
