NEW BRAKES....DOT 5?

Dot 5 Is not recommended for street use. Only show cars and Military purposes.
As it is true that DOT 5 does not damage paint . It does not absorb moisture which is good and bad. The ability to absorb moisture means a gradual dilution of the fluid as the water mixes with the fluid. DOT 5 does not absorb moisture but separates it. Like oil and water. Unfortunately water is more dense than the fluid and so it settles at the lowest points of the brake system. This leads to corrosion just where you don't want it. Wheel cylinders and brake calipers.
Also very expensive.
Just a little logic here. If it is such a great fluid, why is it still not used for the millions of passenger vehicles made each year ? Its cost would go down with more being used so price is not it.
Read up on the different fluids before you commit to some type and see if it fits your personal use.
