girling park brake ?'s

Anyone know what type of fluid the reservoir uses with this set up? Not sure if it takes atf type "F" fluid like the old transmissions or if any type atf will work. Also do they need to be bled or does the return flow to the reservoir account for that?

Theres a bleader on the each of the brake cans. Ive always used type f, but Im sure any hydraulic oil would work.

Thanks rummur. I'd hate to find out it needed a specific type after the fact. I did find the bleeders this afternoon or what was left of them. Apparently someone has twisted them off or something. not gonna be a fun job
