Simmo1985 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I think some DOT4 fluids are compatible with DOT3 systems, check your bottle to see what it's suitable for.

adam-__- Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 The higher the 'DOT' usually the higher temp rating. Just go for something DOT4. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/185522-what-brake-fluid-do-i-use/#findComment-3357232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla32 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Just make sure its mineral based, as a silicone based brake fluid can stuff the seals.

bryyy Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Bleed it completely and run Motul RBF600, costs about $30 per 600ml.. autobarn/burson/repco etc stock it.
