Wish I had a dime for every time this one comes up, and evidently no one
reads the post or remembers them.  The "original" hydraulic fluid is
forward and backward compatible with the 11S.  The bulletin says the new
stuff is the "preferred" fluid.  FWIW I haven't touched a can of Pentosin
Brand hydraulic fluid in years, I've been running Mobile DTE13M ($35 for
5 gallon pail) in my type 44 fleet for years now with no problems.  Also
running the DTE in the hydraulics of the Mercyless Benz 124-300TD for 2
years now without any problems either.

Just follow the link and read the actual TSB:
