...........If the DRY and WET boiling points of a fluid are superior to the DOT3 that comes in a Viper from CAAP, then what's to lose? ...........Have you ever seen some peoples' brake fluid? I mean if it looks like a cup of espresso, its time to bleed the dang thing. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
The easy way to remember, for ANY car, is "Bleed Farthest First" when measured from the master cylinder fluid reservoir. Gradually move closer, and do the closest bleeder last.
--Effective in late '97, CAAP began using a DOT-4 fluid as factory fill. This as a direct result of Viper Club Racing, and what T.V. saw at Putnam Park and other Viper Days events. "Racing Improves the Breed."
--"Seriously hygroscopic" fluids like Motul 600, esp in humid climates, and in rubber lines, can deteriorate at a faster rate than "lesser" DOT-4 (or DOT-3) fluids. So I kind of agree w/ Chuck, for those who are going to carelessly allow fluid to age and darken.... P.S. Isn't CASTROL SRF purplish when new? When teching, I find it harder to tell old SRF vs. new SRF.
---[Motul 600 ($12) is 585 deg. dry.] Wilwood's new EXP-600($20) is a good choice at 620 degrees dry! Also, w/ AP-600 at 595-deg. ($27) Boiling your brakes? PRICELESS !!!
