If you haven't lived in Florida or other damp coastal areas it might be difficult to appreciate the deficiencies of Dot 3 for use in "occasionally used" vehicles.

DOT 5, WHY????? Please send your extra unneeded money to me, I sure can use
it on my 300H!! Use DOT 4 and save your time and money, there is NO
advantage to DOT 5 in Fair Oaks, CA! Now if you lived in Fair Banks, Alaska
, maybe a slim chance. Just change the fluid every 30,000 miles with DOT4
as your supposed to, and you will never have a fluid problem.

Hi Group, 

The rear brake assemblies on my new 300 Sport are severely corroded due to
leaking wheel cylinders and long storage. 

I have decided to switch from Dot 3 to Dot 5 brake fluid. 

My procedure will be to remove all wheel cylinders and hoses, remove ,
disassemble and clean the master cylinder, blow out the steel tubing with
compressed air and flush the tubing with a solvent. 

I will then install new wheel cylinders and hoses, add Dot 5 and bleed the
system. 

Any comments or suggestions on this procedure? 

What should I use to flush the steel tubing? 

Thank in advance, 

Doug Warrener
