fluid specs and capacities for 78 280z

[zeenubee]

I have done a little searching today and I cannot find any specs for the various fluids for my 280z. This car has been sitting in my garage for over 10 years now and I need to get it running and possibly sell it.

I need to know engine oil spec and amount

trans oil, clutch cyl fluid?, differential oil...etc

some of the other threads on cleaning gas tank and adding filter were very helpful....

any other suggestions are welcome.

thanks

Thanks...now if you can tell me what fluids to use?...also need to know what type brake fluid and what to use in the clutch master cyl...really appreciate it!

It is in the manual. Read it and ask for clarification on what you do not understand. It will help prevent you getting advice from the wrong person, not that the two previous responses were in error.

Redline MT-90 is great for the transmission.

[240260280z]

Use Valvoline Synthetic DOT 3 & 4 brake fluid in the brake lines and the clutch

[240260280z]

Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear Lube LS 75W-90 for the differential
