Hello. I just bought an early 70's Toyota forklift, model number 40-FGC25. From the research I've done, I've learned that it's a 4 cylinder, 5r, LPG motor a with some variation of an automatic transmission w/ torque converter. I pulled the dip stick and it's dry, so time to add fluid.
I found an old service manual, online, that covers this model. Under the fluids specifications section, it lists torque converter fluid as "auto fluid., that's it. Can anyone shed any light on what ATF will meet the "auto fluid" spec?
Thanks
