[@Skitter302]

2:12 Have ya been to Wal-Mart recently? DOT4 is only a $2 more then DOT3.

[@brianbaines4905]

Skitter302 depends what type.

Use whatever your car calls for.

Where can I find Royal Purple brake fluid conditioner?

[@Its_3055]

What you need conditioner for? Just do a brake fluid flush. I'm about to do that for my mustang

[@blackericdenice]

@@Its_3055 I was being funny.

[@justaguy4real]

Does brake fluid cycle? Like power steering

[@shrimpbynightbythomas8212]

Can you mix synthetic with none synthetic?

[@That_fella_named_J]

What brake fluid can be used for both track use and a daily driver. I like to do spirited driving and fwd is more punishing than rwd so that's why I ask

[@kalani1987]

I would use Dot4

[@nickhahn5412]

Im gonna switch from dot 3 to dot 5.1ish. They make plenty of good ones.

[@TheFanPT]

Good and very informative, too bad that Fahrenheit's only applicable in a few countries and nonsense to us in the rest of the world

[@unlazinessboyo]

Is there a red colour brake fluid?

[@charleshines6155]

I know there was a blue one but I think it is pulled from store shelves. It was due to some nitpicking over it being not DOT compliant because it had blue dye in it. The main reason people like the blue is when they flush it is easier to see when the new fluid comes out. As for red fluid, I wonder of Brembo is red. It is expensive but if you like that stuff I have seen it at a couple popular auto parts stores. I have a liter of Pentosin DOT 4 LV which is also expensive but not nearly as expensive as Brembo fluid. Then Castrol has one that you would think is made of gold because of the price and usually sells for $80 per liter.

[@muntee33]

Red is usually power steering or automatic trans

[@dontblameme6328]

Yes... When it gets rusty, it looks kinda red.

[@musicfashionstyle9269]

Can i use DOT 4 LV On my Acura Tsx 2009

[@thinkforyourself5672]

Yes

[@Michael-uo4jj]

Anything but DOT 5 I recently put DOT 5.1 in a 2010 Mazda 3 because I was bored😅

[@kalani1987]

I would not suggest making your own brake fluid. Are you not able to source commerical brake fluid where you are?

[@deizel295]

@@kalani1987 they do it all the time in Cuba, in countries like that no, they don't.

[@pojntxoog3039]

I mixed fish and coconut oils and it works fine

[@dontblameme6328]

Add 2tbsp lard per 12oz and you're golden. Be sure to smear the leftover lard on both sides of your brake rotors. Recycle old brake fluid into your windshield washer tank.

[@davidgruen7423]

@@dontblameme6328 lol although in reality they won’t stay on the rotor after the first stop.

[@weishen5938]

How about if Brembo using Dot 5¿ And if not in American dog¿ I mean JDM only.
