Hi!

I seem to remember reading that DOT 5 destroys the seals in the master cylinders on our particular cars........

Im hoping to be told Im wrong so I can replace my fluid with this stuff.Im just happier that DOT 5 doesnt absorb any moisture so have more real fluid in my lines........

Cheers!

Love it when people are afraid of technological advances.

Dot 5.1 is safe as houses, but if you prefer vhs to a dvd in technological terms then so be it
