CAPACITIES/LUBRICANTS
Engine Oil
Ask your engine builder for viscosity recommendations.
FE engine with Canton pan: 7.5 qts.
w/ oil cooler 8 qts.
Add for remote filter: .5 qt.
Brakes : Use DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid for both the brake and
clutch systems. We use ATE Blue or Castrol LMA in our
rollers.
Transmission:
Ford Top Loader
: Fill to hole with 80W-90 GL5 gear oil
Richmond Gear 5 speed : 2 US qts of Redline 75-90 NS
Tremec TKO: GM Synchro transmission fluid or Dexron II
Ford T-5 : Ford Automatic transmission fluid
Differential: The filler and drain plugs are ½” square. Fill
to about ½” below the bottom of the hole with Moroso
climbing gear lube, SAE 90, part number 34800, mixed
with 4 to 8 oz. of Amalie limited slip additive (part # 505-
6775). If the above are not available, you may use 80W-90
GL5 lubricant with an equivalent limited slip additive. If
the limited slip seems to be
sticking (ratcheting around
sharp corners), drain and refill, replacing the Amalie
additive with 2 tubes of GM additive 1052358 or MOPAR
additive 4318060AB.
Suspension: Use an EP-type grease on all pieces with
grease nipples. Use a silicone grease when lubing the front
lower control arm inner bushes (only necessary when you
are replacing them).
Dampers: Cover the lower Rose joint (spherical bearing)
with silicone or other heavy grease. If the car is laid up for
long periods, put some silicone grease on the shaft so that
the shaft seal doesn’t dry out.
