I have it in my collector/high performance car and have never had a problem
with it. But this product is debated to death. A respected member of the
Mopar community says just use it, all DOT fluids are compatible so he
doesn't even worry that much about mixing them. But I used new parts when I
did mine and flushed out the lines and proportioning valve with denatured
alcohol. I just refuse to have paint remover coursing through the 30 year
old veins on my car (it has an 8,000 paint job). Kim
