Brinn trans.fluid

[ncracer1st]

What kind of transmission fluid do you use in Brinn trans. and how much?

[sj valley dave]

We have the standard Brinn, not the PRO series and I called Brinn direct, and got the info directly from the manufacturer. They said 20/50 engine oil, NON synthetic...Takes right at a quart, just a tad under...We just buy Napa 20/50 or whatever. Ran the same clutch pack for going on 4 years and oil still comes out clean and no clutch slippage...

That's the best...20w-50 and change it every time you change oil...{2-3 nights}

I run the Castrol or Valvoline Type F; use 3 qts. I believe. (I'm on the original/standard Brinn)

You are running WAY to much fluid, there is not a Brinn made that takes 3 qts.
Brinn is 20/50 non snthetic oil.
Bert is Type F trans fluid.
Both are just under a qt of fluid.

I thought the guy I bought the brinn from said he used type f. Would it be ok if I kept using type f if thats allready in it? When I drain it there will be a little left in it and then I would be mixing type f and 20-50.

I would NOT mix them, I would run what was in it. If and when you rebuild it, clean it completley and then use the recommended oil.

My friend has a bert and told us to run type f, maybe that's why. I'll check into it some more. Thank you for saying something!

Directly from Brinns website under FAQ.

Q: What fluid is recommended for use in the Brinn Original transmission?
A: Dexron III ATF or equivalent, Racing ATF, or a 20W-50 non-synthetic engine oil are all approved fluids.
Q: How much fluid do I put in the Original Brinn transmission?
A: 1.0 quarts of fluid.

I have always ran 20W50 regular oil with no problems.

Yup. Just running regular old Dexron III, it takes just under 1 quart. I wouldn't flip flop though. If you run Dexron, don't put 20w-50 in it because you happen to have one laying on the shelf. Pick and oil and stick with it.

I emailed the guy I bought my Brinn from and he used type f so I will use type f till I rebuild it.
