I have recently done some maintenance on my 74 ghia brakes and added a DOT 5 brake fluid.
Because I was feeling a very soft pedal, I decided to do some reserarch and found out that many people say that DOT 5 (silicone not glycol based) should never be put in a systems not designed for it.
In addition, some people says that it will eat rubber and seals
I only put DOT 5 because a friend told me that it lasts a lifetime and does not absorb water.
But now, I am really confused.
Any views?
