By the time the V8s were produced, "Pentosin" meant the synthetic 11-S to
Audi.  When they switched to the synthetic, they kept the same part number
for the oil.  Supposedly, you could add the synthetic to older systems, but
you weren't supposed to use the older oil in the newer systems.  Is the
reservoir down to the "minimum" mark?
