GBMUD Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Perhaps he was not so silly? From http://www.kipmotor.com/Technical_Question...l_questions.htm... Why can’t I use generic brake fluid in my British car?British brake & clutch systems use natural rubber components which are only compatible with vegetable based brake fluid. American brake & clutch systems use synthetic rubber components which are only compatible with mineral based brake fluid. The only vegetable based brake fluid commonly available in the US is CASTROL GT LMA. Use of improper fluids or mixing of fluids can lead to complete failure of brake and clutch hydraulics. Use of any fluid other than CASTROL GT LMA violates all warranty on brake/hydraulic parts. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
