        <p>I've used silicone BF in my BJ8 for close to 30 years (and
          when I replaced the brake MC, 15-20 years and 80-100K miles
          ago, I disregarded the same warning).&nbsp; As somebody mentioned=
,
          your problem is symptomatic of the 'check valve'--aka 'foot
          valve--malfunctioning or damaged.&nbsp; I had similar problem wit=
h
          my brakes on a long road trip; had to pump the pedal a couple
          times on every application (for a couple thousand miles).</p>=20
        <p>We put the highly-touted Castrol BF in our 100M after a
          thorough restoration--with all-new brake system--and the fluid
          jelled when that car sat for a couple years.</p>=20
        <p>Side note: Most BFs are calling themselves 'synthetic' these
          days.&nbsp; Are they a new formulation, or just jumping on the
          bandwagon as, AFAIK, BF has always been synthetic (the glycols
          used don't occur in nature)?</p>=20
