Re: buying a 4kq
I just checked the label on the Castrol LMA brake fluid I used (it's been some
time since I upgraded). It's not Dot 5, just notated as "exceeds dot 3 and
dot 4 specifications". It says it's recommened for systems that use either of
the above.
Dot 5. Nope (whew). I don't know if I noticed a bigger difference in the
fluid, or the SS lines (done at same time). I know I did bleed the entire
system, purging the olde stuff.
Thanks for da info,
Dave
