I don't know if that confused me more then it helped me. I have "Synthetic DOT 4" fluid in my Minivan, which was designed for DOT 3. That page seemed to suggest that I might be in danger of rotting some of my seals and lines. I hope not, I replaces the front calipers and rear wheel cylinders when I did it, so the only things to rot would be inside the master cylinder and in the rubber lines.
As for the Daytona. The calipers at all corners will have new seals and the lines will be replaced, leaving the master cylinder as the only possible leak there. That leads me to think that I could use a DOT4 fluid of higher quality and be ok. Besides being expensive is a "racing" type fluid ok for the street? Whats the part number on that Ford fluid and what DOT is it Pete?
Sound off, who is using what and what to they think?
