[net.auto] 240Z Carburetor Damping Oil

chim@ncsu.UUCP (Bill Chimiak) (09/27/84)

I have had difficulty finding the 20W oil
specified for use in the caruburetors.  One
mechanic suggested using automatic transmission
fluid.  Does this make sense?  Will it work the
same as 20W for damping purposes?

Up until a couple of years ago, I used transmission fluid (its close to 20W
if not exact) in my 240Z's carbs with fine results.  I don't have to worry
about it any more because I replaced the carbs with down-draft webers.  A
very nice improvement.
