RE: Brake Fluids

["mghirsch" <mghirsch@netzero.net>]

Dot 3 and Dot 4 brake fluids are chemically compatible.  In the early days,
British cars used natural rubber seals in the brake system and they were not
compatabile with all dot 3 fluids.

If all the seals in the brake system (calipers, master, wheel cylinders,
differential pressure switch, etc), have been recently replaced, Dot 3 is
fine.  However, to play it save, I always use Castrol LMA.
