where to find the AHC suspension fluid?
hi there,
Today when I checked underneath the hood of my LX740, the reservoir for the suspension fluid is low, and the owner's manual said spedicifly only use their AHC fluid.
I asked everywhere and search on board and I can't find anything about it. Is the dealership the only place to purchase those fluid?
I'm wondering if it is just regular hydaulic fluid for hydaulic machinery.
please enlighten me, thanx

It has been strongly recommended to use the factory hydrauic fluid. I think this is mainly for warranty issues. The fluid specs aren't published anywhere so I will not attempt to use anything else. You would think it is standard hydraulic fluid but I don't care to guess on it.

My dealership sells it buy the quarts. I just had them replace all four accumulators and i bought the parts including the fluid from one dealership and had them installed at another dealership because one had cheaper parts and the other had cheaper and better service. The fluid is like $20 bucks a quart and as i recall it only took a few.
