Post SLS Fluid

Rich ;

When you get the car up and running, I have some (1/2 case) of the correct fluid a vendor sold me, I'll sell it to you for my price if you want it, remember : I'm down off the hill .

Only use the correct fluid. This is once a decade change normally should be fine to pay a little more instead of a leak.
