Once, installed it took 5 qts (1Gallon + a bit from another battle) of SAE-85 to full her up. Future service checks are now a breeze with built in oil level dip-stick.


Installation was rather trivial - except that brake line support brackets had to be modified. Thin one was trimmed with sheers and the thicker one was trimmed with a hack saw. Couple of passes with a flat file to keep all sharp edges at bay. About 15 minuted for mods.
