I would like to say a few words on behalf of silicone brake fluid.It is non=
-hygroscopic (does not absorb moisture).It does not damage paint as do glyc=
ol fluids.
A newly rebuilt and scrupulously clean brake system filled with silicone fl=
uid should outlast a system filled with glycol fluid by several times.
The military specifies Silicone brake fluid for a reason.=C2=A0
