# CONVERTIBLE TOP HYDRAULIC FLUID (CORRECT SHOP MANUAL)

#### VEHICLES AFFECTED: ALL MODELS EQUIPPED WITH FOLDING TOP SYSTEMS

The Body Service Manual currently recommends that the hydraulic system of the folding top on convertibles should use either mineral oil or high grade brake fluid. Since 1984, Type A transmission fluid has been used in these systems. This bulletin is notification of a correction to the service manual that Type A transmission fluld is used in folding top hydraulic systems. If it is necessary to add fluid to a system determine whether mineral oil, brake fluid or transmission fluid was used. An appropriate label should be present to identify the fluid in use. Do not intermix fluids.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
