Hi Spridgiteers,
I want to bleed my brakes but the stores or Amazon nolonger carries Castrol=
GT LMA DOT3 brake fluid. I thought I had a few bottles left but I was wron=

her out for the first time and needed a little more fluid before heading ou=
t. I only drove 8 blocks and while sitting at a light the peddle went to th=
e floor. I quickly pumped the brake and it was fine to get home. I put her =
on stands in the driveway getting ready to bleed as I suspected an air bubb=
le but no store carries Castrol GT LMA Dot 3 any more. Suggestions please. =
One of the members on a Facebook Spridget group said to flush and add Castr=
ol DOT4 which is synthetic, he said I wouldn't need to replace the wheel cy=
linders or the master cylinder I I did that but I am by myself and use a st=

handed blender but I couldn't get it to work properly. Maybe I should look=
at a youtube.
