Bob, I’d say more of a problem on all of the hundreds because
the front bleeder screws are on the lower slave cylinders.</div>

I think you're referring to 'DoT5.1' I also think it was
deliberately named so as to confuse the issue.<br>

Also everyone is speaking of DOT5 but there are now two
different DOT5s. The first is the older silicone based
DOT5. There is a newer Glycol Ester DOT5 that is
compatible with DOT3 and DOT4. It has a lower viscosity
than the DOT3 and DOT4 so it works better in some ABS
systems. It also has a higher boiling point than DOT3 and
DOT4. Don't see an advantage in Healeys.<br>

best selling point for Dot 4 is you can mix any Dot 4
or even Dot 3 if you need to fill up. As I understand
it with Dot 5 you should be careful to always use the
same brand to fill up if necessary.<br>
<br>
Also, neither Dot 5 not Dot 4 is great for sitting a
long time, Dot 4 absorbs water, Dot 5 will push any
water down into the components.<br>

Dot 4, if the car is not used regularly, needs to be
flushed every couple of years.<br>
