Re: Brake Fluid I had a 1941 Ford Coupe in high school that blew a line that was rusted on the inside. If DOT 5 was available back then I would have used it . I have used DOT 5 for over 30 years and have had no problems. Bleeding problems can arise if you shake the can of fluid before installing or pump the brake vigorously. The DOT 5 forms small bubbles that take a long time to settle out. Also leaks can form if double flare ends on the lines are sloppily made. Finally, fittings must be TIGHT. Put on your big boy pants and snug them down.

Re: Brake Fluid Hmm, 52% use (Dot5 /silicon/e) Vs. all the rest.

Re: Brake Fluid As said Dot 5 does not attract but water still gets in the system and settles in the low points of the lines etc so can still cause rust.

Not totally correct. All brake fluid is technically "synthetic". DOT 4 simply has a higher boiling point that DOT 3, and is the main reason you don't want to mix DOT 3, 4 or 5.1 glycol fluids, because of their different boiling point specs. :) |
Re: Brake Fluid Dot 4
Bad experiences with Dot 5 |
Re: Brake Fluid Quote:
So, why did you list DOT 5 and silicone fluid separately? And what is "other"? :confused: |
