[s-cars] Re: The Great Mineral Oil Debate - Pentosin 7 or 11

[Larry C Leung]

Kirby,

I recall reading similar things on this list. However, AFAIR, 
Audi switched to Pentosin 11 in the '89 model year when 
they refurbed the type 44. I know at one point I (my pre-list
days) when I added P-7 to my 200Q, and wonder if that may
have caused the "early" death of my steering rack a couple of years
ago. Now I have a stock of several quarts of P-11 which I plan
to use for both the 200 and the S6.
