A tip from the British Auto Works in North Plains OR. www.britishautoworks.com
Notes.
A central theme to this service tip centers on brakes. This one is no different..in hard capitol letters.
DON'T USE ANY TYPE OF SILICONE BRAKE FLUIDS IN YOUR BRAKES OR CLUTCH SYSTEM!!
Some LBC owners have indicated they have benefits of these new fluids. BUT not in your brakes or clutches. They are good products but not hydraluic fluid.
The biggest issue is that the seals and hoses used in the system react to the synthetic fluid, and begin to fall apart very quickly. If you have these fluids in your system now, you will need to flush it out as soon as possible. And replace all your rubber lines and seals . Then use only a DOT 5 or DOT 3 fluid. They reccomend Castrol as the best.
