Fluid Capacities needed for replacement in a FC?

What are the fluid capacities needed for replacement in a FC?

Example:

Motor Oil - "x" quarts
Transmission Fluid -
Clutch Fluid -
Differential Fluid -
Windshield Wipers (front) -
Windshield Wiper (rear) -
Brake Fluid -
Coolant -

Please feel free to add any that I may have missed.

Thanks guys.

Motor oil - 6.5 quarts total capacity, but refilling is more like 4 to 4.5 quarts.  Oil cooler holds 1.5 quarts when not drained.

Trans fluid - 2.6 liters, 3 quart bottles will cover this and leave you with a little extra.

Clutch fluid - I dunno, enough to full the reservior. A pint is enough to flush it once.

Diff fluid - 1.5 liters, 2 quart bottles will cover this and leave you with a little extra.

wiper stuff - one gallon should take care of both

Brake fluid - one quart should flush entire system, with the clutch just buy two quarts to cover both.

Coolant - one gallow diluted 50/50 is typically enough for a total flush.  Get another gallon just in case.

All capacities for FC turbos.  NA capacities are slightly different for some fluids.

Thanks Ted. I appreciate your quick response.

BTW, from what you say,...it sounds like brake fluid = clutch fluid (as in brake fluid is used to fill the clutch reservoir). Am I correct?

Thanks again.

That is correct.  You use brake fluid for your clutch fluid (system).

I didn't mean to be mean, but that's what they told me when I asked about oil way back in the day.

Don't you hate it when people are mean/grouchy?
