Default Re: 1950 Ford Custom Brake Master Cylinder

Thanks, I didn't know about the longer service life for DOT 3. I have motorcycles that specify DOT 4 so I'll be staying with DOT 4.

I used DOT 5 in my '40 decades ago but it never felt solid regardless of multiple bleedings. I lived with it for a while and then flushed with DOT 3 at that time.

Now I'll see what my unused tester that I bought a few years ago :-) tells me tomorrow.
