G004012 (synthetic) supersedes and is compatible with G002000 (mineral). You can mix them but it is advised to do a flush anyway.

If you were to buy non-VW/Audi fluid, you want to buy Pentosin 11S.

Since you lost some PS fluid, apparently, you should probably look for obvious signs of leaks in the system.

Enjoy.

I have heard it said many times that the audi/vw fluid is pentosin in a house bottle.
