hydro assist fluid question

[Smokinthehippies]

ordered the full complement of PSC hydro assist goodies. how much fluid do I need to get? stupid simple question but since i'm ordering it in and trying not to use walmart brand, I want to make sure I get enough to fill, burp, bleed and still have enough for the trail box.

so simple question is how much fluid was the initial fill for pump gear reservoir and ram and lines?

thanks guys.

I use Hytrans and buy the 2.5 gallon. Only used a gallon or so.

I used a couple quarts on a system that had previously been in use....I just added the hydro assist to the axle....I burped quite a bit out of the reservoir when it got close to the end of the rams' stroke, so go slow....and have you read PSC's instructions for proper bleeding?

I haven't. All I know is to put it on stands and go back and forth a few hundred times. But I also haven't gotten the parts yet so if the order comes with it than ill read them at that time.

The biggest part of the answer will be the size of your cooler you add to the system. I have the PSC system on mine. If I remember I used about 2 quarts on mine.

Not sure how big the Royal Purple little bottles are but I used something like 5 or 6 for a 8x1.75 ram, rezzy, psc pump, and psc rad.

Cool. I think I'm gonna order probably 2 gallons worth. Figure that should be enough to fill and have spares for the toolbox. Cuz I have all that plus the gear box.
