Re: [oletrucks] DOT 5 Brake Fluid

[Steven Stuckmeyer <slstu51@yahoo.com>]

DOT 5 brake fluid is silicone based and is not compatible to use with or in DOT 
3 systems. I've read that it will deteriorate the seals in a sytem not designed 
for it's use. I've worked on both DOT 3 and 5 brake systems. Information 
provided with all components for each express the importance of not mixing 
components or fluid. Hope this helps.
