Will not.

Yep.

SO WHAT???

Prob'ly not bad, just spongy.

synthetic.>>
LMA (or it's equivalent) came in the car. LMA does not 'hold' air bubbles.
Synthetic does. This occurs as you shake (just nerves from no beer [Larry[),
while you decant the fluid from container to M/C.

Thank you.

Had it in my Healey, THREE (3) quarts to bleed and get a 'pedal' !!
One (1) quart of alchole to clean system, couple of pint of LMA;
VIOLA - BRAKES & CLUTCH!! Now has been reblead three time in
12 years. Everything just fine. Been to Harrisburg, PA; Washington, DC
[three times]; St. Louis, MO; Indy, IN several times; Niagara Falls, CA;
and numerous other locales.
MINE STILL WORK!! (er, Hortense THE Healey's)
<< Anybody else want to spend 2 cents? >>
Nope, you all got my .25 cents worth<G>.
<< Is Castrol LMA DOT4? >>
Yep
<< I assume DOT3 is out of the question. >>
MORE THAN "YEP" (IMVHO, of course<G>)
Cheers..........
