While looking through the Bentley for the Type 43 5000Ts I found a copy of a
Product Circular on the subject.  It is Repair Group 48, Product Circular
86-02, dated 12/31/86.  In this bulletin it states that G 002 000 can be
used for topping up or refilling power steering & hydraulic systems on all
model years.  It can be mixed with any hydraulic fluid previously used,
including ATF-Dexron and AOE 041 020 10.  It also states that this product
circular invalidates any stickers on the hydraulic reservoir.  It also
stated that this circular applied to all models.
