Default Re: Brake fluid recommendations to save paint

Brake fluid in principal was designed to absorb moisture and to move it around to Avoid Corrosion in the lines etc.--Unfotunately, moisture has a funny way of getting into places it's not supposed to be thru diffusion ,infiltration, sweating due to differences in temps even at a microscopic level---ANYWAY----They say Dot 5 is improved---MY experience with the early Dot 5 was leaking due to softing of rubber,but they are right it doesn't hurt the paint,but make sure you THOROUGHLY bleed all the air out,because Dot5 is very reluctant to give up it's air .
