Steering and Brake Oil Type

Hi All,

Have had the vehicle drained of all its fluids during an engine change and wanted to know which type and brand people would recommend using for the steering and brakes.

Any thoughts?

regards,

Dash

My bus number (if any): RM1005

Re: Steering and Brake Oil Type

If it 's for Peter Hendy's Marshall refurb I'm not sure if the brakes and steering are the same set up as the original systems ?
If it is then Shell Tellus 22 or 23 or whatever they call it now was the traditional one.
Rob Duker stocks the excellent Morris range if you put Morris in the search box all the specs come up.

My bus number (if any): RML 2747

Re: Steering and Brake Oil Type

It sounds like you need a manual ! Even in the basic Haynes enthusiast's manual, I included a list of oil and lubricants for all Routemaster engine types.
