Hehehe...well I just got back from the store with some DOT-5 brake fluid...damn that stuff is expensive. Anyhow if I get the time, I'll do it tomorrow (if the damned rain stops)

oh crap. dot 5 is a PAIN. it wont mix with anything lower, and tends to absorb water from the air easier than regular fluid, lowering its boiling point, making it no better than DOT4. honestly, return it for some DOT4. DOT4 will mix with DOT3, so you just need to run a bit of fresh through all of the lines, instead of flushing DOT5 through to clean out all of the old stuff. seriously, just get some DOT4. the only thing that makes it better is the boiling point, so if it absobs water, then youre wasting your money. its made for race cars that change the fluid after like one or two track days.
