Im thinking of upgrading my fluid from its standard which i think is dot 3 (That is what it says on the cap of the resivoir)
I want to upgrade to dot 5.1, will this be fine to do?

Also, there is another resivior under the bonnit, im guessing its for the clutch, is this right?
Would i be able to upgrade this to dot 5.1 too?

BTW its a 1999 WRX STi 5 Type R

yep, fairly straightforward and useful increase in temp. stability over normal dot3...............

and yes the other cylinder is for the clutch and again 5.1 will be fine

Thanks for your quick response, this will be my next mod very shortly as funds are quite tight atm!

Im guessing its streight forward to do as like on other cars.

Is there a Haynes manual i can buy for this car 2 help assist me through doing this?
