The fluid used in the hydraulic system for the convertible top of a 1966 Ford Mustang is typically a hydraulic fluid, often referred to as "convertible top fluid" or "hydraulic top fluid." It's important to use a fluid that is compatible with the system, commonly either automatic transmission fluid (ATF) or a specific hydraulic fluid recommended by the manufacturer. Always check the owner's manual or service documentation for the precise specifications.

To check the transmission fluid in a 1966 Mustang, start the engine and let it warm up to operating temperature. With the engine running, locate the transmission dipstick, usually found near the back of the engine bay. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then pull it out again to check the fluid level. The fluid should ideally be in the designated range on the dipstick; if it’s low, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the dipstick tube.
