Been learning about brake fluid here alot lately. I certainly did not realizr why some fluids were more desirable. Of course, now I see that the boiling point is the critical measure, but which one? Is that "dry" number really only good the first 12 hours after the bottle is opened, or does it take more significant contamination to result in a "wet" boiling point? Here is the south we run 70- 99 % humidity most oof the time. To frame my question- I've got my first PCA DE with my car coming up. I've got valvoline synth in the lines, almost a year old: Appearance Pale, Yellow Liquid Dry ERBP F 503 Wet ERBP F 343 Viscosity @ -40°C 1800 max Would it be worth it to flush and fill with Super Blue (382 wet bp, 536 dry bp)? I don't wanna fry my calipers, but I am a CSOB. Maybe flush & fill with new synth? How far in advance of the DE? Any enlightenment would be appreciated. |
