Standard brake fluid

[Addicted]

What is it? I seem to recall its Dot 4? And Dot 5 is seen as an upgrade?

Changing the rear pads tomorrow so need some just as a top up etc, but can't be arsed to flush it!

I did do a search but didnt find anything!

DOT 4 or DOT 5.1
Not DOT 5 :nono:

Ok cheers, surely someone must know which is standard?

As far as I'm aware you can't mix fluids, but if I run low on fluid when doing the rear pads then I'll obviously need to topup with what I have already!

why do you need to top up the fluid? you should need to touch it!

Just saw the guide, indeed I don't

My dad wondered of which way we do it, apparently there could be two ways, but now we've cleared that up!
