I accept that some of those points are in indeed errors. Regarding the choice of oil, I had it on the authority of an automotive engineer of some reckoning that fluctuation in ATF viscosity was very little between normal operating temperatures and ambient 'cold', therefore making it a far more 'stab...

As long as there is resistance when pushing the piston up with the finger then the oil level is ok Quite right. This is an interesting discussion, and something that I have explored in quite a bit of detail on my Rover. In my experience, there is often quite a bit of disagreement over the level of ...
