OIL CHANGE + 1800

posted by  someone claiming to be gregory on  Sat Aug 30 13:32 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hello!

1961 P1800
B18B engine. It's got overdrive too.

I need to do some maintenance...the car runs a little rough, but strong.
I'm mechanically retarded so I'll start with an oil change--that's easy!

But I also need to check the oil level in the carburetors' damping cylinder. What should I top that up with?

Also I want to change the oil in my transmission. Again I need a recomendation as to what lube to use.

AND for the OVERDRIVE??? I should drain and refill that as well. What oil should I fill it with?


I use Castrol 20W50 for my engine oil.

Please send me some answers, thoughts and suggestions. Specifics are great too!

THANKS!

G
