Fluids I stopped buying and knowing about a long time ago.
Fluids I fixed leaks on a long time ago, and stopped having to top off all the time
But now a co-worker asked me about them, and if they are the same... and Bingo. I don't know any more.
Does Ford have some stupid specific trans and brake fluid?
Did Chevy go with a particular weird brake fluid no one else uses?
Why the hell after 70 years of hydraulic brakes aren't all car companies using the same Dot 3 (or whatever) brake fluid?
Does any car company have some specific power steering fluid requirement that no one else does?
Could be. I know that some company was using one oil that worked the engine and transmission all at once. So, it certainly isn't one for all, all using one. Of course, automatics and manual transmissions use different oils, lets just agree we don't need to bring that up ever again, it has no productive use in this conversation about specific car manufacturers requiring some fluid no one else uses for a brake or power steering system.
