funny you should ask.
well, i decided to try to save some money.
i have some transmission fluid left over so i mixed it with some paint thinner that i also had on the shelf.
it looks just like brake fluid so i figured it will work just fine.

I kind of though lacquer thinner with the Dextron might be a little more effective........let us know how your "stuff" works out for you............

Ok, i didnt do that.
I put in silicone fluid.
I heard pros and cons but i think it'll be fine.
Its too late now anyways .Ermm
 
Now, please , nobody try the mixure i said i made.
I take no responsibility if something goes wrong. 
But, if it does work, I want halfs on the profits!!!
