AND WE PAY THESE FOLKS 80 - 90 BUCKS AN HOUR TO REPAIR OUR
VEHICLES?????? THAT IS WHY I LIKE TO BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE WHAT THESE FOLKS ARE DOING TO MY VEHICLES. ONE SHOP WOULD HAVE DROPPED MY FRIENDS GAS TANK AND CHANGED HIS IN-TANK FUEL PUMP, IF I HAD NOT BEEN THERE,, IT WAS THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR THAT WAS BAD. I GUESS THAT MUCH COULD DAMAGE SOME SEALS, THAT WEREN'T MADE TO HANDLE THAT BLEND OF THIN, CAUSTIC OILS,,,AFTER ALL, I ADD SOME TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MY ENGINE AND RUN FOR 5 MINUTES TO HELP DISOLVE AND FLUSH OUT SOME OF THE GUNK IN MY CAR ENGINES BEFORE I CHANGE THE OIL,,,SO IT ISN'T EXACTLY GOOD FOR A PURELY THICKER BASED OIL SYSTEM. I WOULD FLUSH IT OUT, BY CHANGING IT A COUPLE OF TIMES, AFTER RUNNING IT A LITTLE EACH CHANGE, AND THEN WATCH FOR LEAKS. IF IT WASN'T LEAKING AFTER THAT, IT MAY BE OK,,, MINE USED 10W-40WT ,,,,GOOD LUCK,,, DAY, IN RAINY JAX FLA,,,83 PT-40 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

Hi Bill- I guess I should have been a little more specific. On PTs there is a
separate canister for the hydraulics- which is to control the fan motor and power steering. It seems that the couple I was mentioning had a mechanic put the Dextron in that canister where it should have been 30 weight oil. My question- will it hurt that particular hydraulic application? I would think that the Dextron would be a lot lighter weight oil and it may not adversley affect that pump. Just in my opinion- which I can be dead wrong. Ernie- 83PT40- in Texas- Dextron in the jacks, 30 weight in the power steering [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

Thanks, Paul. The folks that had the wrong fluid installed are in the process
of having it drained and new oil added. Ernie-83PT40 in Texas [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
