Default Audi a4 low on hydraulic fluid, where can I buy some?

I need to top of my hydraulic fluid in my 98 a4 1.8t Quattro, its a little below the min line, but I didn't find any mineral hydraulic fluid (it says on the resoivor use only mineral) at my local autozone, where can I get some?

According to some Audi publications you can use synthetic lubes in place of mineral oil, but not the other way around.
