My light has come on to change the brake fluid, so whilst this job needs to be done, I've got some new Goodridge braided hoses to fit and want to take the opportunity to uprate the brake fluid too. I've got Red Stuff pads with OEM discs.
What is the spec of the standard brake fluid and what fluid spec would others recommend?
I've read that changing from DOT3 or DOT4 (Glycol based) fluids can react with DOT5 fluids and cause corrosion of the brake lines. Therefore, if the standard brake fluid is either DOT3 or DOT4 what procedure needs to be followed to prevent contamination of new DOT5 fluid if you change to DOT5 fluid?
Apparently there are different types of DOT5 fluids, which is the best?
