-Remember- USE CASTROL LMA GTX DOT4 eq. or better brake fluid, NOT DOT3 in
your
British car!
-DOT5, Silicon is OK too. I'm currently running some long term tests on it.
There are some who say it may be a problem in high braking situations,
such as auto-x. It should perform much better for a low usage or stored
vehicle as it won't absorb water, and therefore should result in very
low corrosion levels. So far, so good.
i don't know if it's girling-approved or not, but ATE has announced a new
brake fluid, ATE Super, which is supposed to have many of the high
temperature properties of Silicon_e_ fluids, but in all other camps,
behaves like more traditional fluids. it's worth a look, i should think.
