Guest slow dog Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 drain it and put some 5.1 in it will take longer to boil than dot 3 and yes you have the right place mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest slow dog Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 should not really mix it mate just drop it all out and bleed the new stuff in or bring it by the workshop and i will show you how to do it you can use my tools if you want no charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Isn't Dot 5.1 an evolution of Dot 4.0 and isn't Dot 4.0 an evolution Dot 3.0 and therefore they are compatible and can be mixed? Saying that, it still would be nice to drain the old fluid out and put some new stuff in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
