G002000 is Pentosin 11S.
Similar, but not exactly the same operating temperature range, oils are made by most of the oil companies. Mobil has DTE 13M. Chevron's is Rykon Premium 32. Shell's is Tellus 32T. Each of these is available in something like a five-gallon pail for a price per gallon that will be less than buying a quart of Pentosin.

Oh, call up a local oil supply company, they'll have it in small quantities.
BUT beware that bulk oil is generally not filtered as well because of the storage containers. We have a hand pump with a spin-on filter before the oil goes into the truck's reservoir. You can get fine mesh filter paper/screens to make sure clean oil goes in to your reservoir.

You don't NEED 7.1
When Audi went to Pentosin 11S, they said it was backwards compatible with 7.1, meaning you could use 11S wherever they'd used 7.1 previously. So Mobil/Chevron/Shell near equivalents to 11S should work wherever you'd want to use 7.1.

Re: You don't NEED 7.1
You can top up 7.1 with 11S, as I understand Audi's application of the newer one. I've had no problem adding Shell Tellus 32T to systems filled with Pentosin 11S.
