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
