Hi

I am reading the Bentley, and suddenly to my scare I read;

"Do not add or mix DOT 5 silicone type brake fluid with the brake fluid in your vehicle as severe component corrosion may result" - and at the same time I am really trying to remember what kind of brakefluid I added.......

How bad am I in trouble, if I have added the siliconetype? Me thought that higher DOT was better............... Guess that it is about 3 weeks ago I added about ½ liter of brakefluid.................

/JJ
