Actually,I look this stuff up earlier today, sinc I never remember which
spec Pentosin, goes in what vehicle. Here is waht I found out.
7.1 (White Pentosin can) is for the pre 89 type 44s and it is a
mineral based hydraulic oil. 11S(Green Can) is synthetic and is backward
compatible with 7.1.
7.1 should not be used in the later cars '89 and up. 11S,the synthetic
stuff, has a higher operating temp. range and that seems to be why Audi
changed the spec. (of course it also costs more!!)
Type 85 cars, Turbo quattro coupes, Coupe GT's and 4000's all use the
red transmission/power steering fluid Dexron. Dexron is petroleum based
and is the same as Mercon. Mercon and Dexron are both GM AND Ford spec
fluids that all oil companies seem to manufacture.
Dexron, the petroleum based fluid, is incompatible with both Pentosin
7.1 and Pentosin 11S.
