Fully synthetic brake fluid....

[91ProtegeLX]

Well i just bled my brakes and replace it with this fully synthetic "exceeds Dot 5" fluid....and let me tell you....My brakes never felt better. Once my racing pads heat up nice n hot, this **** stops on a dime...and im still on the stock brake lines. Cant wait to upgrade to SS lines.....

its probably neither....its probably just a dot3, with that label on it....ah well...its working great.

I wonder if it is actually any better than it would be if you replaced it all with new, clean good old dot 3. aren't you supposed to completely flush the brake fluid every 2 years/24k miles? should have tried that first to compare the difference.

yea i should have....a year or so back, when I first got into autox, I completely flushed out what fluid was in there, and replace it with dot 3, and upgraded my pads, and put on new rotors. It felt great, now with this new stuff, and the same pads and rotors, it feels even better. Maybe I just left a little air in before...lol. I dunno.

I wasn't saying the synthetic wouldn't be an improvement. I was just wondering what you had to compare it to.

That is what i compared it to though.
