Quite confusing, that's the way engineers design stuff. Engineers by definition make things harder then they have to be... I could have been a little clearer on anything below DOT-4, OR not to use DOT-5. After re-reading what I posted in post #8, some MIGHT think I alluded to use DOT-5. Bottom line, use DOT-4 brake fluid only and you cannot go wrong!
