The ammount of moisture that the fluid will absorb is how the ratings
work. Dot 5 absorbs half that of Dot 4. It is also true that it will
not eat paint like Dot3&4.
I heard that it did not work with the old pure rubber seals used in
origional/factory replacement Brittish brake parts. Does anyone else
have similar experiences of good service in BLCs?
