Perhaps a phone call to AA. Is the kit new or used?

I was told that for the HKS chargers, you could run Rotrex Fluid. Much cheaper and easier to find.

However, this was only for used/out of warranty chargers.

This came direct from the fellas at AA.

They're a phone call away.

Are you sure you have a Gen 2???

It was my understanding that HKS were Gen 1 and then Rotrex were used in Gen 2

I just had mine done. They got it from AA and it cost $400 CAD just for the fluid. My mechanic said HKS SC must use HKS traction fluid.

Interesting because AA told me that Rotrex can be used. That's directly from them.

they sell at their website HKS Traction fluid for the Rotrex one.

But I will buy Rotrex fluid at ECS so.
