Re: [DML] Re: Pressure (was Vacuum) brake bleeding



( Moderators opinion: I don't think using teflon tape in brake and lubricating systems is a good practice. Teflon doesn't disolve and particles shread off during the tightening process. They're free to float around until they find an orfice to plug, many time one that's critical.)

The directions specifically say to use some Teflon tape around the bleeder
screws to prevent air leakage.

Also, I'm using Castrol GT-LMA brake fluid, but I only have one quart left.
If I run out, and need to add more, and I can't get any more GT-LMA (it's
hard to find), what's the next best compatible brake fluid I can use? DOT 4?
DOT 5?

Thanks,
