Hydraulic System Mineral Oil/Fluid

My 1991 Vanden Plas currently takes Castrol HSMO Plus fluid for its power steering. Castrol ceased producing this product several years ago. A replacement product, TRW LM, was produced as a replacement for the Castrol Mineral fluid product. Both products were non-synthetic.Unfortunately, while I have search high and low, I have been unable to find a source to procure either product. Would anyone have a solution for me as to what product I might be able to source or the action to be taken to acquire a suitable replacement fluid to so that I might be able to top-off current fluid levels. While there are synthetic variations of power steering fluids on the market, they should not be mixed with the non-synthetic versions and my preference would be to stick with the non-synthetic version and avoid purging existing minerl oil systems.. Thanks for any assistance that might be provided. I love my Jag. It look brand new and runs great. Just like the day that I purchased it in 1990.

If you still have the SLS, then bless your heart for preserving the originality.

Thanks Jerry. Unfortunately, it's synthetic. I have what I believe is a line on some of the non-synthetic product both sites are off shore(Australia and the UK) that I need to call to make certain that really do have stock. Time for a break now. I'm spending a bit too much time with this drill. Thanks for the suggestion. I do appreciate your efforts.
