I agree, the 600 is a tour de force of late 50s automotive
technology. Many of the features built into the 600 were not seen in
domestic cars until 2 to 4 decades later, if ever. They were, and

Yeah, aircraft hydraulic fluid, MIL-5606, is read to clearly and easily
distinguish it from other fluids, engine oil, water, urine, etc. Easier to
find and identify leaks, too. If you see a red fluid dripping from an
aircraft, you know you have a hydraulic leak, or somebody's been hurt. (But

MIL-5606 is generally a safe substitute for ZH-M, CHF, and other
mineral oils like that. It does tend to have a slightly different
viscosity, which could have long term effects. In an emergency,
lightweight motor oil is better than running the system dry. Just
