Hello everyone! My search skills suck right now because I can't find any information on this.

I am planning on doing a full flush for my Brake Fluid, Power Steering, and Coolant.

How many bottles of Brake Fluid, Power Steering, and Coolant do I need of each for a total flush?

I am planning on the Valvoline DOT3 brake fluid right now. Thanks!

Johnny

 

The higher the DOT the better, i would suggest getting large bottle of brake or 4 to 5 regular bottles of fluid because your going to be doing alot of flushing depending on how bad your lines are. The main part that is gonna cause you to use up the fluid is the bleeding. Power sterring you shouldn't need to much. And as far as i know Coolant mainly requires water to flush it and a good cleaning solvent...

 

Thanks. So far it sounds like I need to get 4-5 bottles of brake fluid. Power steering I assume about 2 bottles? Coolant 1?

 

Hey everybody. Just wanted to double check... I had my mechanic flush the power steering fluid and refilled today. Is it still suppose to look dark? The fluid itself was almost clear before pouring it down. I opened the cap to look inside and I think it looks clear? ... maybe it's some sort of illusion!

 

Yea Power Steering is supposed to look dark...

 

Thanks I just wanted to double check! Appreciate it.
