Hello

Can any body please give me some advice.
I have replaced all new seals in my brakes (Calipers) on my P6 3500 and a new Master cylinder. What would be the best type of Brake Fluid to use.

Regards

Gary.
 
I would use Dot 3 ( not easy to find now ) or Dot 4 Fluid. These have better lubricating qualities than the new Dot 5 or silicon fluids and give far fewer problems of brakes sticking on

I think you'll find that Dot 5 is silicone fluid, and Dot 5.1 is the follow on to 3 & 4, and compatable with them.
