that jug of LMA sure looks old and dirty. Since brake fluid is
hydroscopic (absorbs water) you might want to not use old,
left over stuff. Store it with a piece of Saran Wrap under the
cap. Keep the old stuff as a paint remover :)</span></p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Spridgiteers,
<div>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 wrong and have her on stands patiently
waiting for her fluid. Yesterday I took her out for the first
time and needed a little more fluid before heading out. I only
drove 8 blocks and while sitting at a light the peddle went to
the 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 bubble 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
Castrol DOT4 which is synthetic, he said I wouldn't need to
replace the wheel cylinders or the master cylinder I I did
that but I am by myself and use a stick to hold the peddle
using a tube into fluid to prevent air, I have a one handed
blender but I couldn't get it to work properly. Maybe I should
look at a youtube.</div>
