We won’t even discuss DOT 5 fluids as they are completely unacceptable to the high-performance enthusiast..... Silicone-based DOT 5 fluids are for non-driven trailer queens because they don't have the moisture issues like the others..
but the message here is this: it’s fine to upgrade from DOT 3 fluid A to DOT 3 fluid B, but you should think twice (maybe even three times) before switching from DOT 3 fluid A to DOT 4 fluid of any sort.
Then it gets into 5.1 v 5, and how some quality DOT3 may be better than a cheaper DOT4.
Best advice for a street car is to stay with what you have, likely DOT3. |
Yup, thats what I'm doing for the Saturn. Camaro is getting ATE Super Blue
