Guest thug23 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 My 1960 Cady is going into the shop for the first time since I have taken ownership and I would like to change the fluids, Ex; oil, transmission etc. What would you suggest I use for a weight for the oil and any info on trany fluid too would be appreciated. I already know I should not use a synthetic oil for either...Thank you.
tailfin58 Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Probably any GOOD Quality 10W30 oil will be okay think it may take 6 quarts with filter (use a WIX available at NAPA or CARQUEST) but check this on the stick after you've dumped in 5.Regular Dextron III ATF will work, we have had excellent luck with substituting one quart of the ATF with a Transmission Additive Made by LUCAS Oil ProductsReally helps them Shift smoother.They do also make a excellent engine oil additive as well.If the car has sat a while change the oil a little more frequently for the first few changes as this helps clean out the sludge.Don't forget to get the chassis greased and take the time to carefully lube the hinges yourself wiping up the over spray.A good wax and polish and you and your CADDY will be ready to cruise and collect the smiles remember to bring your camera and JOIN THE CLC Club ! !
