what brake fluid to use??

[irvine]

hey everyone, I need to replace my brake lines asap ((thanks to everyone on a previous thread for finding the correct hoses))
what type of fluid do I need??? ive searched but not finding any answers, everywhere just says there is specific fluid for specific brake systems etc.

I plan on just installing the new lines, and bleeding the brakes at this point, in a couple of months I intend to do a full fluid flush.

thanks,
neil

Standard DOT4 is what came from factory. Watch out for spills, as it's extremely corrosive and will eat through paint in no time.

As for brand Pentosin seems to be very highly regarded.  I run Ate brand.  As with motor oil as long as you stick to reputable co and right type then all should be well.

Thanks everyone for the info regarding the brake fluid and which brake lines from a previous post.
Installed the new lines this morning and ended up flushing out the system for all new fluid.
Super easy job.

Thanks again,
Neil.
