Fluid Capacities?

chazdawg35 · 07-13-2008, 04:58 PM

Hey Dudes does anyone know how much fluid the stock transmission holds in a AP1. Also what about the rear differential?

batguano · 07-13-2008, 06:18 PM

You can find what you need here Dude.

Thanks Bat! I was thinking of using Royal Purple what do you think?

gomarlins3 · 07-13-2008, 07:21 PM

Royal Purple is a good product. Expensive, but good.

I have it in there now with about 4000 miles of use some track time and hard driving. Veneza31 said that I should change them after track time and I figured that it wouldn't hurt or with the miles is it a waste of money?

My opinion is that you are paying for color.
I am running Honda MTF in the tranny and Valvolene 75X140 synthetic in my 356 diff. I am pleased with the setup.

gomarlins3 · 07-13-2008, 08:39 PM

Personally, I use the Honda MTF as well.

chazdawg35 · 07-13-2008, 08:56 PM

I seen it on sale at PEP BOYS for $9.99 a quart seemed not that bad.

AP2 holds about 2.7 quarts. It should be very close to AP1.

So I should be cool to buy 3qts for the transmission and 3qts for the differential

gomarlins3 · 07-13-2008, 10:58 PM

Transmission is only 1.6 quarts for the AP1. I can't believe there would be that much difference between the two models.

Diff is less than a quart.

Yes, you should be fine. That's what I usually go with.

philiam · 07-13-2008, 11:23 PM

From what I've read the only recommendations are Honda MTF or a GM variant , don't remember the name. In the diff Honda or Mobil 1 70-90, my choice. Haven't seen any research on Royal Purple.

Pep Boys had RP on sale for $7 this weekend.

batguano · 07-14-2008, 07:17 AM

That GM product is the GM Syncromesh. I've heard good things about that too.

I refer to those links often.

FWIW, I also add a small quantity of Hyphoid better known as Friction Modifier to the diff. I am running a 356 and it's a little whiney and the additive helps.
I get mine at the Ford dealership.

Be careful and don't over medicate. She might get too agreeable and sweet.
