Hi Dan
I think Factory calls for Agip Sint 10w40, but they actually use Shell 5w40. 20w50 seems a little high to me, but it depends of how many miles you had, the much you had, the higher the grade. |

I own a 1994 348 spyder. What would be the best type of oil for this car. I believe the factory calls for 15w40. I'm interested in using amzoil 2000 20w50. Any comments on personal experiences with this oil and if this grade is too heavy would be great. |

On a 355 (early models) the brake fluid resorvoir also feeds the clutch master. The clutch comes out of the resorvoir very near the top of the resorvoir, while the brakes come out nearer the bottom. If the resorvoir got low, you pumped air into the clutch system.
Fill the resorvoir up and try bleeding again, after you get the clutch working, then use a turkey baster to pull the excess fluid back out of hte resorvoir. |

Folks, I am stuck. I just completed a brake bleeding without any problems. So far, so good. I then decided to bleed the clutch as well. Result: my clutch pedal is going straight to the floor when I depress it. The clutch does not work anymore! What did I wrong? Everything was fine with my clutch before I decided to bleed it. What a great idea I had! Thanks beforehand for any help. |
