I remembered this because I have an '89 and a '90, and I thought it
sucked that I couldn't use the same in both.

My '89 says part# G0020000 on the cap, in the manual, and in Bentley's.
This is that part that was stamped on the 7.1 (the 11 was different).
It also said NOT to mix them. Well, I added 7.1 yesterday, and the
light is cured, with no explosions or meltdowns yet. Of course, the
day ain't over yet....
