RE: [ST] Brake fluid



Don't use DOT5 because it's a synthetic (silicone?) base fluid, whereas DOT4
& DOT3 are mineral oil base.

You *can* use it I suppose, but only if you completely flush the system
*and* you're certain it won't react with the seals and/or O-rngs of the
system.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't use DOT 5 (Higher boiling point, better
compression etc)?<
