[TR] Changing from DOT 3 to DOT 5 Fluif

[Dave]

I had a conversation with a moss employee about this very topic.  they do 
this because they want to prevent the common moron, the soon to be dpo, from 
just adding dot 5 to their system without cleansing it first.  there is, 
according to him, no reason not to use dot 5 in these if proper procedures 
are followed.

I will add my experience has been no issues in numerous vehicles using dot 5 
over at least a decade of use.

Just wanted to pass on that when I recieved my clutch master cylinder from 
The
Roadster Factory, the box had a label that said "Use of synthetic hydralic
fluid will void warranty". I was fully planning on using DOT5 fluid until I
read the box. Later that week I called TRF to find out what the deal was and
the guy told me that they had a lot of warranty returns for brake parts 
using
synthetic fluid and the manufacturer started placing a warning label on the
master cylinders.. I am about a month away from getting to bleeding the 
brakes
and clutch and still haven't decided which way I will go.
Just sayin..
