Re: Brake fluid
Dot 4 has a higher dry boiling point than Dot 3.
The main thing is use fresh brake fluid from a sealed container and it isn't recommended to use fluid out of one of those gallon cans with the pump stuck in it as they draw moisture if the fluid isn't used up in short order. Ok if it's a brake shop that goes through a gallon pretty fast but not good if it's sitting on the shelf in a shop for months on end. That from the Napa EIS brake rep when he put on a brake workshop for my students a few years ago. He didn't like the idea of shops buying 5 gallon pails of brake fluid as he said it sat around too long.
