[Mgs] Hydraulics

[Paul Hunt]

On my several trips across the English Channel by fast ferry (SeaCat) there 
was always a display in the passenger area of a navigation screen showing 
islands, water depth and the like.  At least once per trip this would 
display the Blue Screen Of Death and the Windows logo as it rebooted.  One 
trusted that it was only for passenger interest, and not the actual 
navigation ...

Of course each upward shift of fluid designation - DOT3, DOT4, DOT5 gave an 
improved resistance to boiling, which for road cars is almost totally 
irrelevant.  DOT5 is silicone which does not contain enough lubricant for 
ABS systems, hence DOT5.1, which is an improvement to DOT4 (which does 
contain enough lubricant) but is not compatible with DOT5.  However Castrol 
LMA is at least as good in braking performance as DOT5 and 5.1 but predates 
them and DOT 4 at least by years.  If you can get it.
