Can you use brake fluid convertible top?
“DO NOT use silicone brake fluid in top or window systems. Silicone brake fluid has been known to cause system failure!!!
Can I use ATF for hydraulic fluid?
ATF makes a fantastic hydraulic oil. ATF is formulated for high viscosity index (the ability to maintain test viscosity over a wide temperature range), and has excellent water control properties, allowing the fluid to hold more water in saturation before being released to create corrosion.

What is mineral based hydraulic oil?
What is hydraulic oil? Hydraulic oil, also known as hydraulic fluid, is a synthetic (man-made) or mineral-based, non-compressible fluid that is used to transfer power in hydraulic machinery and equipment. At Nationwide Fuels, we supply 99% mineral-based hydraulic oils.
Does hydraulic oil go bad?

Is insurance for convertibles more expensive?
Why do convertibles cost more to insure? A convertible may cost more to insure because of the higher purchase price they carry. In general, vehicles with a high price tag will cost more to repair or replace, so insurers charge more to cover the higher cost of a potential physical damage claim.
How full should hydraulic tank be?
There are two rules of thumb that can be used as a starting point. If the hydraulic system uses cylinders as its actuators, the reservoir capacity should equal the volume of oil required to extend the cylinders plus 20% (or four to six inches) reserve in the tank.
How much hydraulic fluid should be in the reservoir?
Hydraulic system reservoir: Sizing a hydraulic reservoir suggests that its volume (rule-of-thumb) should equal three times the rated output of the system’s fixed-displacement pump or mean flow rate of its variable-displacement pump. This means a system using a 7-gpm pump should have a 35-gal reservoir.
