Brake fluid

Post by Philip » Fri Apr 14, 2017 12:33 pm

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if modern dot 4 brake fluid is suitable for Marina's?
This isn't the first time I have had to change the brake fluid, I just cannot for the life of me remember what I was advised to use before..
I'm almost certain it was dot 4, I just can't remember!!

Thanks in advance!

Depends how you drive the car. dot 4 just has a higher boiling point than dot 3. Both are fine to use in the Marina.

Thanks for that.
I only potter around in it. It gets driven very gently.
