[DML] Re: Fluids changes

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Should have at least 6 pints, 4 for the brakes and 2 for the clutch.
Should leave you some left over to keep around to "top off" if you
need any for anyy of your other cars. Should be Castrol GTLMA DOT 4.
For the cooling system you need 2 gallons of a nationally branded
permanant type ethylene-glycol based anti-freeze. Try to get the green
stuff. I like Prestone but it doesn't have to be that brand. You will
have to add 2 gallons of water to it so it is a 50/50 mix. Pressure
test the cap and the system to 15 psi and bleed all of the air out at
the bleeder nipple on the water pump and the radiator at the small
hose on the top left side. Any good shop should be capable of doing
this kind of job. It is not too complicated or different from most
other cars.
