HP brake hose to bomb

[Kneale Brownson]

Check in the yellow pages for the petroleum products distributors.  Mobil,
Shell, Esso, etc. all make a fairly comparable hydraulic oil that will work
in the Audi system with no apparent deleterious effects.   I've used
Shell's  Tellus T32.  It's a more refined and wider-temp-ranged version of
Tellus 32, which I've used for years in tractor hydraulics employed both
summers  and winters.  I bought the Shell stuff because I couldn't get
Mobil in a 5-gallon pail for anywhere near the price of the Shell.
