Default Special fluid?

There's a cap toward the back of the engine labelled 7I0. I was gonna change it and put some fresh 7I0 in there, but I have looked in every Harley dealer, auto parts store, gas station, etc. and I can't find this stuff anywhere. What's so special about it that makes it so rare? Will another number void the warranty?

My wife's Dad is a mechanic, and she loves to put on a straight face and ask unsuspecting people that question. It's especially humorous because she's a blonde.

Since it's winter, lighter weight blinker fluid must be used.
