Rich,
I see that you have CC:-ed the A4 list. The colour of Pentosin for most
A4-s is RED! The p/n is G 012 A8 D. According to my A4 Bentley mixing
the two  will cause a major damage to the engine. Bentley provides a VIN
cutout, somewhere in the 1996 m.y. if memory serves me right. Be very
careful, folks!
