[V8] Hydraulic Fluid Leak

[Ed Kellock]

I have only ever used Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF in the hydraulic system in any
of my cars, not just any old ATF. I add it to the system to top it off when
it is low. I had one car with a significant enough leak at one point that
the amount of M1 Synthetic ATF was probably well more than 50% in the
system.  I have also mixed in Chevron Rykon 32 at different times. I have
paid little attention to how much of any of the three fluids is present in
the system at any given time.

I was going to say the same thing - only I used Chevron RYKON-32.  Pretty
much the same oil I think.  I am intrigued though by others that say using
regular ATF stops leaks and works fine.  If I went that route I would try to
flush out the old stuff as good as possible.
