Help brake fluid
hi i am installing the whole system back brakes on my f100 56, I installed a new master cylinder "ccp" which indicates that use only DOT3, the fact is that here and for years it is not marketed as now used DOT4 and DOT5, my question is if there is any problem to use DOT4.
thanks
thanks

DOT 5 is silicone and will not mix with anything other than silicone period. I say again, do not use DOT 5 unless manufacturer says so.

DOT 4 is the same as DOT 3 except it is synthetic and has a higher boiling point. I use it in all of my vehicles. You can use it with or instead of DOT 3.
DOT 5 is silicone and will not mix with anything other than silicone period. I say again, do not use DOT 5 unless manufacturer says so.
