Eric;
At the encouragement of local TR owner friends, i switched to DOT 5 after my
PDWA leaked DOT 3 onto a new paint job!! Grr-r-r-r. Hence, the "goo" which
Vance refers-to. So, after three months of summer operationusing DOT 5, no
issues to report since making the switch. AND, it's a cool purple color!! :- )
