Ace fluid

Hi all, i know this question has been asked many times but,
Has any one used this oil for the Ace ? And how much will i need for the entire system, as it is completely empty, Thanks Ben
Halfords | Castrol ATF Dex II Multivehicle 1L

Texaco Cold Climate Fluid 14315 is the recommended fluid, can't you get hold of that?

Halfords Do not seem to sell it so nope, ha ha
I was hoping to get the same fluid for Pas and ace as i need both.
And at £15 a litre is not cheap for the amount i need

take my advice dont go cheap on this cos you'll suffer after that... use the dedicated PAS fluid in both as there is a small communication hole in the tank's top so what ever you use use the same kind to not mix oils...it's demonstrated that the ATF is not the best option for non of them especially not for ACE and even if they give it as an alternative they dont say to change it more often as it doesnt have the PAS fluid's qualities...so i time you dont make any economy and work more)...in mine was used only the dedicated PAS fluid and never had issues with the ACE or PAS pump, replaced it at 80k miles and now it has 150K ... i made a comparison between the specs of Dexron III and PAS cold climate fluids and there are differences in viscosity and density, and the density is very important when it comes to 135 Bar where the ACE works... everybody's choice though

So it seems Texaco Cold Climate Fluid 14315 is the stuff to have then.
Where can i buy that from ?

The only place I have been able to get it from is a Landrover dealership. I tried every car parts shops around me without luck!

Does anyone know how much fluid i will nee for both the systems from scratch(empty)?
Thanks Ben

iirc 4l was enough for both and even left a bit but i'm not sure anymore, i'll check and confirm later, the ACE is way below 2l anyway

unfortunately i couldnt find an official data about the amount of fluid for these...you might be OK with only 3 litres though...i can't remember as it was long ago when i did it.

Ok pal, thanks for the reply.
I'll get on and order 4l as I will need to completely bleed the ace/ pas system
Ohh and the clutch and the brakes, not forgetting fuel, oil ( them all ) and coolant best start saving ay

I know how to do the pas as it easy like you say lock to lock,
But the ace I'm not to sure.
I brought a nanocom so I could have some fun with bleading it and to help on the brake lines.
