Synthic brake fluid? I know it's the wrong section.

[qutoe]Sorry to continue the post hijack, but maybe you are confusing synthetic with silicone? Silicone is bad news, and is just designed to be more tolerant of moisture, which is only a problem if you never bleed your brakes, like 99% of car owners.

 

My brakes are not spongy, and the stuff is DOT4. Just like synthetic motor oil, the fluid is more stable at a molecular level, and it's made of generally the same stuff as dino-derived minerals. If I had the same issues with it as LJ, I'm sure I'd say it sucked too, but I don't those issues at all. It works great for me.

 

Nathan,

 

I'm just going off what I've been told from other guys who have used the synthic fluid and been unhappy with it. I'm typically unwary of claims like this since it just doesn't make since but, the guys I got my info from have been very relieable in the past and I see no reason why they would be wrong here. They are very familar with bleeding procedures and all that so I don't know what to tell you.

 

I went ahead and started a new thread for this since it seems to be a good topic for discusion. I know it should have gone in the brake section but, my outlook in it is like this. Since the basic topic got started here and I'm mostly familar with the names of the members who frequent this section I thought it should stay here.

 

Admin. If it needs to be move then Please do so. It's no big deal to me.[/b]
