What Dot 4 Fluid are you guys using? Is synthetic ok? Brands?


Basically gonna flush the system out with new. Might as well do it right and ask you guys.

Decided to go with this Pentosin stuff. Dot 4 non synthetic low vis from Europe. Pricey stuff but should be good to go. Most of the stuff at Pep Boys was Dot 3 or Dot 3/4 Synthetic. Ran out of time to do this today as I had to replace one of my rear seat belt mechanisms and now gotta do family stuff.

Will post pics of my process manana.

Ha ha, I was thinking the same. European car, European Fluid. That plus they didn't have any true Dot 4 non Synthetic besides this stuff.

Funny as all I see is big block letters that say "MADE IN GERMANY."

I use Autozone house brand DOT 4, $7 a quart, rated to 475 degrees. It's awesome.
