Brake Fluid

[Trev]

Brand new toyotas also are marked as dot 3 only.

 

Robert.

 

Yes but apparently they can take dot 4.

[RedKE30]

straight from yahoo answers " Dot 4 is synthetic brake fluid. You can use dot 4 in a system that calls for dot 3 but you must not use dot 3 in a dot 4 system or the rubber seals will fail in the master cylinder and calipers/wheel cylinders.

Don't believe everything you read on the net. Being as I sell the stuff and have to know what effects it may have if used in incorrect applications, you should check with someone in the industry :D

 

I'm sure I would get my ass handed to me by management if I gave someone the wrong advice, not to mention be liable for any accidents that happen because I sold the stuff to someone without prior knowledge of what applications it can and can't be used for. :)

 

what a 3rd year apprentice isnt good enough, my cap on my ke55 says dot 3 but I'm using dot 4 and hasnt got a spongy pedal, killed me ?

i was doing a tranny service on my traumatic and in the book it says dextron 2, but you can use detron 3. but you can't use dextron 2 in a dextron 3 system
