[DML] Re: Castrol GT-LMA



While DMCJoe is of course correct that any DOT 4 fluid would work, not all
DOT 4 fluids are created equal. Having a DOT 4 classification just means
that the fluid meets the *minimum* needed to qualify. The really good ones
exceed the spec.

The Castrol GT-LMA is IMHO one of the best available DOT 4's at any sort of
a reasonable price. Very high boiling point and has low moisture
absorbtion. There *is* a reason why so many autocrossers and drivers of
high performance cars like this stuff. (Another cult favorite is Ford's
"Heavy Duty" fluid, which also has a very high boiling point and is very
reasonable in cost even if you do have to get it from a Ford dealer.)

Here is an online source for the Castrol. The Miata owners like this stuff
too!
