[s-cars] mineral hydraulic fluid

[Fred Munro]

JR;

All the UrS cars use the synthetic fluid. The mineral fluid was used in the
5000 series Audis - I think Audi changed to synthetic in 1989. To simplify
matters, Audi gave both fluids the same part number and describes them as
"mineral hydraulic oil" :o) Apparently the synthetic oil can be used in the
early cars but the non-synthetic oil shouldn't be used in the later model
cars.

What hydraulic fluid should I get?  Blau has 2 types.  Pentosin
Synthetic and Febi Mineral available and both say they are the
equivalent of Audi Part G00200.  Under the hood says Mineral only.  Does
it matter?  Is one better and why?

Thanks,

JR
