Dear Scions of Lucas

The word I get about changing over from DOT 4 to DOT 5 is that the brake
system must be scrupulously clean before adding DOT 5 fluid.  I just changed
my system over and thats because I rebuilt the entire system (Master
cylinder, wheel cylinders, calipers, AND new brake hoses).  I also removed,
inspected and flushed out all steel brake lines.  This was all part of a
frame replacement and is too much work to do just to do a fluid change.  I
recommend staying with DOT 4.
