History is cyclical.
Good old Dot 4 brake fluid.
Just make sure you don’t put dot 5 (synthetic) into the system that has had dot 4 in it (mineral).
It will turn to jelly and you’ll need to replace everything.
Dot 4 is what you want.
All brake fluids are synthetic. The difference is that Dot 3/4 are glycol based and Dot 5 is silicone based. Another difference is that Dot 5 is a liquid, but it is compressible. That is the reason Harleys using Dot 5 had soft mushy brakes and Harley changed newer bikes over to Dot 4.
Then there's good old DOT 5.1 5.1 will mix with 3 & 4, but not 5. At about $100 a gallon, I won't be fooling around with any 5.1
All are synthetic?
Well, there ya go… if I remember this, I will have learnt something today

It's all about keeping your brake fluid fresh. Fresh DOT3 has a higher boiling point than 2 year old DOT4 or 5.1 for that matter.

It's longer and does spring loaded things. Not beat up. ✔
