Brake Fluid?

ASecretNinja · January 7th, 2010, 03:52 PM

For some reason my local Pep Boys has 30 different brands of DOT 3, but not a single can of DOT 4 (which is what my bike calls for). They told me to use DOT 5 in my bike instead. What do you guys use for brake fluid?

Hi Chad ,

Never use DOT 5 ( silicone based ) not compatible with other ones , use DOT 4 as is recommended .

I run this in my mustang with Hawk Pads, and on my 250.

I get it from TireRack
