    Hydraulic fluid for 1967 Hyster Forklift?

    I recently got a great deal on a 1967 Hyster forklift. I guess it's a spacesaver 50? I don't know if that's what it was actually called in the 60's though. It's a 5500lbs max capacity, propane powered flathead, 3 stage lift with sideshift. It runs great, with some very minor hydraulic...

    Brake Fluid Sediment?

    This is something I have been curious about for quite some time now but never really took the time to do the research. I am a Honda Technician. One of our big selling services is a Brake Flush, based on time (36 month factory recommendation) and the brake strip testing. Pretty straight forward...

    Volkswagen brake fluid and ATF?

    I have 2 separate questions, about VW's. (considering I am a VW owner too now.) First is there anything special about VW's brake fluid? Reason I ask, I am a Honda Technician, and have loads of un-opened bottles of Honda Brake Fluid. My sister has a 03 Jetta 1.8t with the tiptronic tranny that...

    What Is Mitsubishi Coolant

    Well, if it is anything like the coolant in my 00' eclipse, it is... crap. I know they had a pretty big issue with the deposits forming from the coolant they used. I had the problem with my eclipse, thick silica deposits around the radiator hoses. I ended up having to flush the entire system...

    Pennzoil "Gearplus SUPER 75-90"

    Well, I recently aquired a new, unopened 5 gallon pail of this gear oil. It appears to be a few years old. So I was wondering if it was a synthetic. It appears, from the little research I did on Pennzoils website, they don't have Gearplus SUPER anymore. And they don't have 75-90, unless...

    2000 Range Rover... (Saga)

    I was somewhat curious when I saw that it didn't take synthetic gear oil, but I figured my paper work was right... I guess not now. At least we have gotten it taken care of for now. I just hope the dealer will fix the screw-up on their part. Either way, the owner said that he is going to come...

    2000 Range Rover... (Saga)

    I have a question that I can't seem to find a good answer for. I had a customer come in for a service on their 2000 Range Rover. Checked the differentials, and they were dirty. So they requested we do them. Even though they just had their 90,000 mile service done at a dealership, which was...

    Nissan Matic-K alternatives?

    Nissan Matic-K alternatives?

    I have a 04 Maxima and I figure it's about time to start a drain and refill routine for the tranny fluid. However, Nissan reccomends use of only their own Matic-K fluid. I haven't been able to find any fluid that says it is compatible except for possibly Valvoline Max Life. From what I can...
