[V8] A6 hydraulic fluid

[Ed Kellock]

I am using Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF in all my V8's and my 200 Avant, mixed with
Pentosin and Rykon 32 with no issues.

Check the archives for:

Chevron RYKON 32 
Mobil DTE-13M

Those are the 2 I remember offhand, there was also a Ford (tractor) and
Sunoco oil that fit the bill too.  It all depends on what region of the
country you live in as to the availability of the different substitutes. 
There were a few more, I'm sure listers will chime in with the others.

Before any anal types get their panties in a bunch, my fleet of 4 type 44's
is alive and well after 15+ years of nothing by DTE in the hydraulics.  I
also run DTE in place of the ubber expensive OEM fluid in the hydraulic
suspension of the Mercyless Benz (I can flush the system every year now
without having to mortgage the house.)  If the sky was gonna fall, it would
have done it by now.


BCNU,
