Don;t use the silicone stuff........ it doesn't mix with mineral based, and the ONLY way is to start with a really clean, or ideally NEW system....... dot 5.1 will suffice...!!!

Unless of course you are going to go on the track, in which case 'Castrol SRF Racing' is the dogs danglies of Brake Fluids used by most racing teams!<br><br>Phil<br>
