Gary-
What area are you in. Castrol LMA is Dot3/4 approved and is distributed
nationwide. Could be that your local discount autoparts emporium genius
doesn't know what your asking for. Unless you are contemplating a complete
rebuild of all brake hydraulics, I would say stay away from DOT 5. DOT 3
and 4 are both organic fluids. Silicones are not. As I understand it, the
major difference between 3 and 4 is the high temp. characteristics.
Regards,
Chris
