zeenubee Posted August 26, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2013 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 Marv Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/47273-fluid-specs-and-capacities-for-78-280z/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJ Posted August 26, 2013 Share #5 Posted August 26, 2013 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.
