[s-cars] Source for DOT blinker fluid?

[Craig D. Niederst]

This place has always carried it:

I know the guys on the C5 forum on AudiWorld are biased towards the Motul
synthetic stuff. I'd be a bit worried at 180k to switch to synthetic though.
It may cause leaks, and then the left side will stay on all the time also.

Subject: [s-cars] Source for DOT blinker fluid?

After her first drive in the car, my wife reported that the Benz was broken.

Seems that the parking lights are haunted. 

She parked the car and switched off the headlights.

One side of the car remained lit.

She drove the car later, parked and noticed that the other side was now lit.

She pulled the car into the garage tonight and came in to inform me that the
car is "broken."

I had a feeling I knew what was wrong, but went with her to the garage to
see.

Yep, she's right. The right side markers are on.

Weird.

I must be low on blinker fluid on that side. Can someone point me to a
source?

BTW, is DOT blinker fluid usable in ecode lamps? I'm going to be converting
over soon and will have to pick up fluid that's compatible. Is it too late
to convert to synthetic?

Appreciate any BTDTs.

Oh, and btw (MAC), do German Audis have this problem too?

TIA,

:)
