- Just rebuilt the driver's side rear cylinder. Have the car up on blocks and thought it would be a good idea to change out the brake fluid. Have no idea what the best way to change out the old DOT to

- In a word: don't. The amount of effort required to go from DOT to silicone is probably not worth the time or expense involved. From what I have read and heard on the subject you must flush ALL the o

- 1. Re the subject line: DOT5 is silicone. DOT3 and DOT4 are not silicone. DOT3 and DOT4 seem to get along together but they don't like DOT5. 2. Re: "From what I have read and heard on the subject you

- First, don't consider Dot 5. It's silicon and must be used with a clean system (no old fluid at all, anywhere!). Even after flushing the system several times with alcohol, some of the old fluid will

- In the "Tech" section of the SOL WWW pages, there is a brief piece I wrote on DOT5 v. DOT3/4 (silicon v. conventional) brake fluid. Check it out at http://www.team.net:80/sol/tech/dot5.html Cheers, M

- Hm, I have to disagree here. The problem with mixing DOT3/4 and DOT5 is that they won't mix with each other. The result of this is that if there is left-over DOT4 in the system it will form little "b

- Dear Scions of Lucas The word I get about changing over from DOT 4 to DOT 5 is that the brake system must be scrupulously clean before adding DOT 5 fluid. I just changed my system over and thats beca

- I've been using DOT 5 as well. I totally rebuilt my brake system when I was reconsructing my TR4. My reasoning was to avoid the destructive properties of Lucas Girling fluid on my nice new paint job.

- I've done some extensive reading on the use of DOT5 (silicone) brake fluid as I plan to use it in my Vitesse I'm doing a ground up on. If you ask 10 different people you'll get 10 different answers.

- You're getting lot of negative replies, I think it's time for a positive one. I converted my TR-6 to DOT5 (silicone) four years ago (brake and clutch) and have no problems. Like you, I had just repla
