Just Sharing This Brake Master Cylinder Trick

I recall reading (can't remember where, of course) that DOT 5 should "not" be used with disc / drum, only disc / disc systems. Also, can't remember why. Big help here right? Do some research before inadvertently swapping DOT, or other, fluids just to be safe


Been using Dot 5 with disc/drum for 40 years. I don’t notice any problems. The only thing I heard was not to mix with Dot 3.
