Hmmm, the correct fluid isn't cheap either.

Well then, somebody should revise the fluid capacities section of the LMTV part spreadsheet. Guess I'm sucking that fluid back out. Seems like an undertaking to purge that complete system.

Thanks. I normally suck out the reservoir, disconnect the supply and return lines from the reservoir, put the return in a bucket, then connect the supply line to my pressure bleeder and force fluid through the system until clean fluid comes out. Reconnect the hoses and fill the reservoir. Done...
