this weekend im doing oil and filter, plugs and wires, cap and rotor, transmission drain and filter, rear axle drain and refill, fuel filter, and draining the coolant system. so i need to know some types and amounts for some things as this is the first time im doing them
how much transmission fluid and what kind?
how much coolant and what kind?
how much rear axle fluid and what kind?
iv done oil so i know about that, and i dont need anything else to do fuel filter and the ignition stuff. so could someone help me out? thanks!!!

 

Get one whole jug of coolant non deluted. I use peak antifreeze, I like it alot. Then whatever is not filled up put water in it. The transmission part, make sure you do not overtighten the bolts on the transmission or you wil leak. I am a veteran at that. lol

ATF transmission is fine if you have a auto tranny. IDk if its same for a manual.

Rear axle oil i use 75w-90

 

What year is your car?

What engine do you have? V6? V8? TBI? Carb?

What transmission do you have?

 

its an 84 z28 with a 91' 350 block. 700r tranny

 

so one jug of antifreeze, how much transmission and rear axle fluid?

 

Dropping the transmission pan and changing the filter will require 5 quarts to replace. However, the transmission contains a total of 12 quarts - see http://www.amsoil.com/faqs/ATF_and_F...Procedures.pdf (particularly Step 13) for how to replace it all.

The differential holds 3.6 pints.

The cooling system holds 17 quarts if you have AC. A 50/50 mix will require slightly more than a gallon of antifreeze, but a gallon will get you close.

 

could this be answered real fast, like in less then an hour? do i need gasket sealant for the new tranny and rear axle gaskets?
