"Who ARE these people??"
I thought some LATE 4kq's took the Pentosin, or so some have said.
I liked the 4kq PS system, not as flakey as the 5ktq or later cars.

I've got an 87 which is labled to take 'mineral based fluid'
I'm now running a hybrid ps system. I've got a pump from a 1996 A6 rated at 120 Bar, my rack is the original one from the 4k rated at 75 Bar (I suspect its a typical one, but again my car had a lable about the mineral fluid and I've know the car since it was new). I run the Pentosin with this combo.
ATF is commonly used for lots of things. Honda uses it in many of their manual transmission boxes!

I have an '87 which has "ATF" stamped into the side of the reservior that...
has that "Mineral based oil" sticker on the sied. Personally, I don't care what you run, just keep it flushed and cleaned every two years or so, or you are asking for problems eventually.
