I never get tired of driving it!
Are there any down sides to running Dot 4 all year round? Will cold weather affect the braking as the fluid is "thicker" I assume? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Thanks,
Brian

YellowBoss said:Brian, no down sides at all and not a stupid question. The only fluid that would be bad to use is a DOT 5.1, it will not mix with water. In this case water "bubbles" in the lines and make their way to the caliper where they collect and reduce the boiling point of the fluid to the point you could boil them under street use. This fluid is used by people with expensive collector cars since it will hurt the paint if it leaks during maintenance.
