Default Master Cylinder.. be carefull!

hey guys, one day me and my friend were cheking the vehicle fluids, my friend noticed that the brake oil is a little low in my durango '02, he refilled it with his car brake fliud (Honda Integra) as we knew theres no harm in mixing brake oils...

after two weeks my brake became totally weak!
i went to check it out, it appears to be an oilleak in the master cylinder, and i had to replace the whole master cylinder for 260$ couze our mizerable dealer dont sell the seal kit apart..

so the dodge cars only uses thier fluids, if you simply changed the oil of something than be sure that something will happend to the car..

i dunno if its acommenthing or no=P i just wanted to warn you about it, thanx

Correct mdandl. Dodge uses standard fluids.

JaymZz, you are incorrect on not being able to swap any fluids. If you want to swap out the fluid, you are free to do so. I run Motul in mine, not factory fluids. No problems.
