I am having my brake calipers rebuilt and have been looking into
brake fluid (funny how you start studying minutae when you do
something like this). Everyone without exception has told me NOT to
use synthetics so I won't.
Castrol LM has been recommeded, but I have read some very good
things about ATE Typ 200 (I think it is a German product, comes in
metal cans). It has higher wet and dry boiling points than the
Castrol, is not a synthetic (contains only dead carbon based life
forms), is DOT 3/4 compatible and has very low moisture absorption
properties. Looks extremely good on paper. Anyone use this stuff
on their Lamborghini's? How about Castrol LM? What are people
using for brake fluid? Last thing I want to do is go through
caliper rebuilds and use something that is going to screw up my
seals or hoses.
Thanks for your input.
