Interesting. I have been running DOT3 in my TR4A since I got the car<br>
drivable (about 2 years now) and only used DOT3 because there was a big<br>
sticker on the side of the master cylinder telling me "USE ONLY DOT 3 BRAKE<br>
FLUID OR WARRENTY IS VOID". I was wondering how big a PIA it would be to<br>
flush out the DOT3 fluid and replace it with DOT5. I have read many posts on<br>
this list where people have used DOT 5 with no issues so I am considering<br>
changing over as I should probably replace the current fluid after 2 years<br>
anyway.<br>

Another contested question. My experience is as Paul said, just
"bleeding<br>
through" will not remove all of the old brake fluid from the system.<br>
However, I saw no ill effects from the small pockets of old fluid left over.<br>
The DOT 5 will not mix with the old fluid, and is slightly less dense, so<br>
you get little pockets of fluid in corners that don't get used (like the<br>
base of the rear slave cylinders). The DOT 5 also surrounds it, so it
can't<br>
promote corrosion (and I assume not absorb water or salt).<br>
<br>
Main disadvantage seems to be that the remaining DOT 3/4 will suck all the<br>
purple dye out of the DOT 5.<br>
