I bought some brake fluid and when I got it home I noticed it was a synthetic. Can I mix the synthetic with the reglular stuff that is already in my system? Thanks Rick
you can but I'm pretty sure if you read the directions on the container it will say not to mix synthetic with regular. I wouldn't do it.
Are you sure it isn't Silicone brake fluid DOT5? You can't mix that with regular brake fluid. Synthetic brake fluid should be compatible with regular brake fluid. It has to tell you right on the label.
heck larry, I was thinkin silicone the whole time. ou: I wasn't aware of synthetic brake fluid until now. Always learning somethin... :TU:
It is "synthetic". The bottle says nothing about compatibility with regular dot 3 fluid. It does say compatible with all brake systems. I think you can mix them though. It was the only type Prestone had on the shelf. I decided not to take any chances and returned if for the good old fashion type. Rick
I wasn't either. I put "synthetic Brake Fluid" into Google and came up with a bunch of hits. Everything I read said it was compatible with Dot 3 and 4 fluids. I learned something too :laugh:
