>Your brake system will be happy with any brake fluid that is rated DOT4.
>Most auto parts store carries at least one brand of DOT4 fluid.
I am very sorry to disagree but not all DOT4 fluids are the same. I have
personally had hydraulic system failures from using a fluid that while DOT4
was not Castrol - it promptly dissolved all my seals.Pyroil was the name -
and I haven't used any other than Castrol since.
Natural rubber seals (Girling and he like) require a fluid different from
the standard American and European synthetic rubber seals. Specifically,
the seals can't contain mineral-oil products else the rubber swells and
dissolves.
DOT ratings are for boiling, NOT chemical composition.
