silicone brake fluid recall

[Bullitt-]

At the Oreilly auto parts this morning I ask the manager what he thought/knew about silicone brake fluid. He was not too up on the product but stated that he recently had recieved notice of a recall on silcone fluid. He did not know what the problem was, but they carry Gunk brand. I just Googled for info and found none but did run across the interesting article. It looks like I will be sticking to DOT3.

There was another post a while back about Silicone fluid and I mentioned the lower boiling point too.  If your master cylinder cover seal doesn't leak, you shouldn't have to worry about your paint. Just be careful while bleeding and filling.

Hmm , good thing most poeple don`t see temps much below freezing , I however do see -40 generally once or more / year

Both types probably work fine 99.9% of the time,just change it regularly.I have been running DOT 5 silcone in the cuda for 8+ years without a problem.

I have used Ford C6AZ-19542 Dot 3 brake fluid for years.  It has a 555 degree boil point.
