Re: DOT5 in Minnesota; keep trying or switch to DOT3?
My neighbor is a big car collector (27 of them), and he told me he put silicone in a car. He told me he thought the pedal felt strange, so he changed it over to DOT3.
My ElCamino, when I changed it over to disc brakes I had everything off of it, and when I put it together I put in straight DOT4. I don't think I have ever added a drop of fluid to that system.
In my 1957 Skyliner, I flush that system with fresh DOT3 about every 6 or 7 years. It's not a big task with a helper. Easier than letting the system deteriorate. When I go that car the fluid looked like mud. LOL
