>From a recent Western PA TR Club technical brake seminar, Jack Wheeler used
silicon brake fluid and recommended it to others. It is harder to
effectively bleed the brakes using silicon brake fluid. I was always afraid
to try it, and the Castrol fluid seems to work for me. Once during my
earlier years, I used American brake fluid, and dissolved every seal in the
system. I am not sure if the rebuild kits are still sensitive to American
made brake fluid, or not.
