Back in the day that "our cars" were everyday drivers everyone said you
needed to use Castrol or Girling brake fluid. When questioned as to why the
answer was that "normal DOT 3 would gum up the rubber seals used in the
brakes, and could cause leaks or failure"

I do not know if this is true, never wanted to chance it, so always have
used Castrol brake fluid on my British cars (except for now, I am using
silicone DOT 5)
