Hi Jason
I use Castrol SRF in a variety of new / old stock and new / new tech brake
bits and I havent had any problems on either my TR4 or TR4a.
problems come when you start mixing fluids in systems as I understand,
particularly going from silicon to non silicon fluids without completely
refreshing all the seals.
No doubt others will know more ........ !
Regards
Tony
