Hi Allen,
I've got to confess that it's been a while since I checked a supermarket
for brake fluid, so you got me on that! I should have known, now that
you can by groceries at the gas station!
Last time at my parts store, I found NO DOT 3. I wonder if there has
been a liability problem and the lawyers have forced it off their
shelves. Just wondering.
