Brake Fluid - type advise

They added that to the label awhile back. It is still the same great fluid and I use it.

I went through this last year. Contacted Castrol and it is NOT the same formula. That is why the container says "New Formula". They did say it should work fine with any system that used the "old” formula.

I switched to the ATE product. It comes in 2 colors and makes changing out old fluid easier. As far as compatibility switching to ATE, no issues.

Thanks guys. Hey 4134 - are those Hall bigbores with chrome tips added? Did you cut off the straight-out pieces.

thanks

Nope.
Mind Train headers and mufflers. Original chrome was pitted and dull. Years back (?) Kirk Evans made sets of stainless tips that slip over the originals and were welded in place.

It was "synthetic" before and still is.

thanks much all

In my red 5S Byars say not to add synthetic in my system. I can't recall why, but they said it would ruin it. So as long as you know what you are doing you should be ok.

The Castrol LMA brake fluid is "synthetic" not to be confused with DOT 5 silicone.
