I ask, because my recently aquired 914 has DOT 5 brake fluid, but I don't know what, if any provisions have been made to the car to use it. I know a rear caliper was recently replaced with an off the shelf used caliper with stock seals.

I'd like to go back to using Super Blue. Is a flush in order, or would I be looking at a complete brake system overhaul?

Thanks!
