Re: Pentosin 11s vs. 7.1???

["Daniel Hussey" <dan_hussey@email.msn.com>]

I think 11S is what the newer Audis use.  I've heard they are NOT
interchangable (or not good to do so) as I believe the 11s is synthetic and
the 7.1 is standard hydraulic fluid.  Anyone have an definate answer on this
though???

But if you don't know for sure, I'd say NO!  Why chance it.  Hydraulic
components aren't cheap and the Pentosin 7.1 has always worked fine for me.
