Hi All,

I just bought three cans of Pentosin 11S synthetic hydraulic oil and here
is the scoop on the colors:  Cap - Red  Fluid - Green  
Note on the can says do NOT mix with their non-synthetic version.

Comments:  If it is so critical not to mix fluids why in h*ll do they make
them the same colors!?  Also, why IS it so critical not to mix these two
oils when you can mix every other synth./non-synth. version?!
Sorry, just ranting.

FYI:  Pentosin antifeeze   Cap - White  Fluid - Blue
