Brake Fluid Info?

[Larry C Leung]

Don't have the post archived, but FoMoCo Heavy Duty (blue can, oops,

capabilities and better than average hydroscopic qualities. Either that
or ATE Blue or Red (same stuff Blue and Red that is, just colored
different to make fluid change during bleeding easier to see).
