JamieP Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Is there one i can use that is less likely to boil over or shall i stick with the Toyota stuff? need to get this sorted before my next track day, got a Greddy cooler coming and thought ill change the fluid at the same time.

Homer Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 CW was talking about a race spec Dot 3 or Dot 4 a few days ago. Unfortunatly, unless it's old and dead fluid it's unlikely to make a significant difference if it's boiling up, the stock cooler is next to useless so an aftermarket one is going to be the thing to solve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) Isnt that brake fluid Homer? Surelly there's race spec atf for auto boxes out there Something like this? http://redlineoil.carshopinc.com/product_info.php/products_id/45579/30304 Edited February 4, 2009 by DannoSupra (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Isnt that brake fluid Homer? Surelly there's race spec atf for auto boxes out there lol, yeah, you're right, PAS uses ATF doesn't it I was thinking of clutch fluid for some odd reason! I did look into this a while ago Jamie, will try and find the links.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I used dextron III in mine when I lost a load from fitting my FMIC and had to relocate my PAS cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I thought they discontinued the Dexron II replacing with the TQ Dexron III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandRover uses 'Extreme Climate' PAS Fluid for the ACE System (Suspension), i'll look into that for you aswell Do you know what fluid was in it that boiled?

JamieP Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 The stock toyota stuff i presume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 The stock toyota stuff i presume. Any idea when it was last changed? Might just be old fluid and considering the usage it's had and the track day(s) it might just be cooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Ive never changed it mate, think ill just fit the coolers and renew the oil and see how i get on, it only spilled over a little last time so hopefully will be ok with the cooler.

michael Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I had fresh Toyota stuff in mine and managed to boil it on track, I just did shorter sessions in the end but a cooler or coolers would have been sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 It happens to pretty much every Supra I've ever seen used on track, mine included. A cooler is the only way to go I reckon. I bought a small Mocal oil cooler ages ago but haven't got round to fitting it yet, too busy rebuilding engines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani_r Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Is there a link on how to change to PAS fluid? Edit: Never mind, good 'ole search button! It's this link incase anyone is interested! http://web.archive.org/web/20041209173121/www.reepa.com/psflush.php Edited February 5, 2009 by dani_r Used the search button!

Kranz Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'd try Amsoil synthetic ATF... available from Oilman and other sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
