CMP fluids question ..........

[BCBlitz]

HI All

Well Im currious if any of you can chime in on the fluids issue for my F15A flathead V8 I dont have the manual yet so currious as to what to use in all the areas on the truck.

engine oil ? ........ 30WT detergent ? or NON detergent ? or a more modern multigrade like 10/30 ? the engine is a early 50's Mercury flathead not the OEM engine Im told.

gear oil for trans, axles and transfer case .... reg 80/90 gear oil ?

brake fluid ........ reg DOT 3 or do we have to use silicone brake fluid like the USA trucks ?, something to do with attacking rubber, any thoughts ?, Ill be bleeding the whole system so if silicon is better that would be the time to change over.

any other help would be great as as soon as the weather warms up and the snow melts Ill be looking at getting it all changed .

Thanks all have a OD / Khaki kind of day
