    Well, since I have somewhat mixed system (I'm sure there is some DOT remnants) looks like I have some cleaning to do. I have revamped my vacuum brake bleeding setup recently so I guess it is about to get a work out.

    With all of this trouble I will make the switch to synthetic for the long haul. I'll let you know how it goes...

    Brake Fluid Types

    Take a look at more of the web sites on changing the fluid. There are quite a few that changed and went back because of poor brake feel. Spongy, soft, etc.

    Roger, I don't drink anything more than a beer every once in awhile so that probably wouldn't work either. Most likely foaming at the master cylinder.
    Sounds like something we could try at our next tech day. Yahoo

    Brake Fluid Types

    After going over that information I went and got a beer. Crap, Einstein didn't go through that much effort in his theory of relativity. My head hurts. One thing for sure, I am not the intellectual type. For me, it comes down to two questions. Is it better? Is it better enough to make me do the work. Man I love this club. We have the most remarkable group of car enthusiasts in the country. Need one more beer. And I don't drink. Larry
