That's why old fluids tend to boil and be more problemmatic, and you rarely have a problem with new fluids right after the change. It sounds like your fluids were BEYOND old.
Yes, I understand about the old fluids and how they lose the boiling point as they age and absorb, thanks....me being a new owner of this car, I can only imagine what has and chas not been done!
So, is this 570 dot 3? and why not go with the 600?
Now, as far as the brakes go...would regular Heavy Duty Dot 4 be good, or the Valvoline syntec?
Is the reason for not using wilwood 570 in the brakes just the cost factor?
