There are even 6 Qts. of NOS Kendall 40 wt.
Brakes are bled and good to go. The process took awhile and took for ever to get the pedal hard, but two stuck bleeder valves (one destroyed, but thankfully a spare brake caliper just happened to be around) later and all is good.

In 1976 I bought 4 cases of this Kendall Hi-Perf oil. I used this oil exclusively in the Carrera. An oil change takes 16 quarts and since there are 24 quarts in a case, 8 quarts are left over.
The 6 quarts that you see in Dave's photo are what is left from the last oil change done in 1988, minus 2 quarts used in normal operation. This is all that was left from the original 4 cases of oil.
I'm not sure what oil to use now. The Carrera always used this Kendall 40 wt. oil.
Maybe a multi-viscosity oil would be better now. Any advice?
