Brake Fluid Testing strips

[Grant Lenahan]

Gee, for that conclusion all you had to do is read your owner's  
manual, and the PCA DE rules!

but you are welcome. I think fluid changes are also a good idea to  
promote long life of the hydraulic system, including clutches on MT cars

get a power ( pressure) bleeder - its great.  Much safer than vacuum,  
much easier than old-fashioned
