Dot 3, 4 or 5? [which brake fluid type?]

It is high, I restore the cylinders of the original & of slave for the clutch on '85 Yamaha FJ1100. As far as I do have their entire apart and I do clean, any reason, am which I not smog to switch in order TO PLACE POINTS brake fluid 5? I purchased certain DOTS 4, but I am tired to obtain of paint around the reservoirs, which occurs regardless



of the fact, for the sake of what I make or as thoroughly i. I would prefer to use DOTS 5 if we it will work. The positions of reservoir only in order to use DOT3, but I do not think that was any DOTS 4 or DOTS 5 beside 1985. Thanks previously, - Steve g

Answers:

DOTS stands for. or it will be middles it will be the boiling point of brake fluid. DOT3 has the lower boiling point after this DOT4 or 5. if I recall correctly, then DOT5 will be the liquid of that based for the sake of silicone which it will not mix for the sake of the water whereas DOT3 & 4 they will mix for the sake of the water. You will moisten to be any condensation it gathers before the brake system. This condensation is inevitable and it occurs before the system with DOT5 water it will establish before the calipers it will make things that the better than the dose of water… it … If we you do not plan to restore your calipers down are regular the base, then I would advise DOT5. Knob with DOT4. For your passing moisture of reservoir, make certainly it will be installation level the interior of rubber, is which before a good state therefore it will not flow with the cover further. Thus far on I eat (hemorrhage of etc) only content reservoir half completely, it is which necessary to help to avoid leakage. FYI: DOT5 outside '70 ' s one way or another.

DOT5 will be based silicone and must be used before the system had never anything still (DOT4, etc.) before I eat. It is not good for rubber gasket. Another poor thing about a question of water with DOT5 that when the boils of moisture, it turn before the gas… and you obviously do not want gas before brake line. There will be DOT5.1 however - this will be by based glycol compatible with DOT3 and DOT4. Possibly that there will be version for you?

Thanks for the answers. I asked this question everywhere & were obtained the mixed answers, but only one store said “definitely not” (to use DOTS 5). I am persuaded in order to attempt it, his clutch, not , and sufficiently easily in order to obtain k. but I will majorities likely exactly DOTS 4. of benefit at least will not there be any disagreement about that.

DOT4 would be definitely successful rate here. If we you completely and thoroughly do not heat the system of clutch, I would remain faraway from DOT5. I in order to know was only store he did say that you did definitely use DOT5? ;)
