The green stuff is about $10/quart from PAP etc, and you
don't need too much of it UNLESS YOU HAVE A SMALL LEAK, and
as most of us know, that is a RARE occurance with the Audi.

Perhaps we could get a Chemical Engineer, perhaps the head
of a Chemistry Dept. at some university, ( Hmmmm ? I wonder
where we could find someone like that ) to check if jack
oil is a reasonable substitute.
