Brake Fluid
Friday, June 10, 2005 8:31 AM
What kind of brake fluid does the 1996 Z24 take? I hear its DOT 3...Am I right?

I wanna take out the old fluid and replace it with new fluid. What are the proper instructions for it? I have a brake bleed kit from Canadian Tire.

You can also use DOT4, which is compatable but has a higher boiling point.

You can NOT use DOT5, which is not compatable.

heh. Same here. Haven't looked at any for quite some time now and just recalled it not being clear since I could see it through the hazy plastic of the reservoir.

Bottom line is that when it's dirty... it looks dirty.
