Brake Fluid.

[Funkadelic]

I noticed yesterday my brake fluid level warning light was coming on for a bit, then going off again. So I take it I need top up on brake fluid.

My question is - What to use!!!???!!!???

[mattmr2]

Either dot3 or dot 5.1 as the are compatible - recomend dot 5.1 it works better under high temps

[DeusMR2]

whens the last time the brake fluid was topped up or renewed? if its been a long time then now would be a good time to replace and bleed with some nice new dot 5.1 stuffs

dot 5.1 doesn't cook as easy as the other stuff .. Halfrauds are nice and cheap ..

It's not really neccessary to change the fluid unless it has become contaminated. I generally check it ever so often to look for any colour changes etc. I suppose it could get cooked under heavy braking, but I would expect a serious amount of braking to cause that.
