Got a brake line to repair and going to flush out old brake fluid.

Which would be better Dot 3 or 4?


Thanks

 

I'd stick with Dot 3.

The truck came with it so you know its compatible. There is no real need for Dot 4, you don't need the higher boiling point.

If you ever need to top off, or someone at the QuikLube tops it off (I know you do your own work) you know they'll put in Dot 3.

Just my two cents.

 

Dot 3 cheap $3 for a big one at walmart very cheap and a brand name also I think it was Prestone.

If Flushing you may want to get two I ended up using two my back break fluid was all black nasty took two times to clean it all out.

I was supprised how much fluid it took me.

Yes this is my brake fluid NASTY

 

It really looks like Coca-Cola ! Ahahah !

 

my cheap man bleeder but you know what it works and cost me $2 for the hose thats it so simple and so cheap.

 

98DAKAZ-- That is some nasty stuff.Mine may not be much better. I can see black junk on the bottom of tank but fluid looks clean at the top. I will stay with Dot3.

 

My brake fluid should not have been that bad when getting a flat tire fixed 5 years ago I had them flush out my brake fluid.

But as you can see they did not shops they are such bad rip off artists probably charged me but never touched the bleeders

I go to shops only if I have no time or no other choice
