Wanting to find an expert on these fluids. The car has always had Kendall motor oil.
I have always ran Ford Type F fluid in all my auto trannys. If you want to switch over to Dot 5 brake fluid you should totally clean your system of any Dot 3 fluid, they are totally different fluids and shouldn't be mixed. Dot 5 is silicon based.Transmission fluid (auto?): Dexron II, Dexron III, or even Ford Type F for firmer shifts. Don't spend too much money here. Torqueflights are tough.
Brake fluid: I prefer DOT 5 as it won't absorb water or take your paint off if you spill some, but any DOT 3 will work.
Yes, 32 oz. to fill the whole brake system. Almost to the oz.Does anyone know about how much brake fluid I need to fill the whole brake system? I have all new lines, new master cylinder, rebuilt calipers and proportioning valve (calipers and prop valve were the originals, sent out for rebuilding). The system is empty. I read 32oz is needed to fill the whole system.
Question? You put fluid in the torque converter before installed. Right!The transmission has been rebuilt, how many quarts does it hold? 8?
