AHH!! wrong fluids

[mbeach]

I use the Valvoline fluid. You can pick it up anywhere.

I used to use Motul RBF 650, very high quality stuff, but I did find that it needed flushing more often.
Before the Motul, I used ATE Super. It comes in two colors -makes flushing very easy. It's a little more street friendly than the racing compounds, like Hotsauce said.

its been 3 days, and 150 miles since the 'incident' havent had any trouble, did find a small spot of something under the truck in the driveway.. but after checking all my fluids i determineds its probably just condensation mixing with the crud on the driveway.. phew.. stilll getting the brake system flushed later, again, thanks to everyones quick responses!

so he put Transmission fluid(read...the VX takes Tranny Fluid for pwr steering fluid) in the brake reservior????

nice

or...have you been...or did you want him to put wrong fluids in power steering reservoir????

it was power steering fluid.. both reservoirs were at their low points, but i know that the brake res. can look low for reasons that escape me at the moment so i was only worried about the PSF... anyway i guess he thought the power steering fluid looked more like the brake fluid than the power steering and didnt wanna sound dumb by asking where to pour it... didnt work, he did offer to pay for the brake flush.. poor guy, everyone knows the VX is my baby so theyre deathly afraid of even looking at it wrong

i didnt know i needed ATF instead.. oh well, in my frustration/panic i never filled the psf reservoir... guess thats a good thing

[SPAZZ]

that has been a problem in tha past...putting incorrect fluids in the incorrect component.

Some websites stated to put gear oil in the Tcase...when in fact it takes Tranny fluid.

The same as the power steering fluid in the VX. It takes Tranny fluid as well...not power steering fluid.

But, the brake reservoir takes the brake fluid.

thats good to know, thanks for the heads up.... just so im clear.. i put gasoline into the gas tank right? haha.. i wonder how many people at shops actually do it right... one of the many reasons im trying to learn to do everythin myself

[SPAZZ]
