DOT 4 brake fluid question Anyone using DOT 4 brake fluid in their LS1 f-body's?
I just want to make sure that it's safe to use and won't break down any components in the braking system. Thanks

FYI:
DOT 3, 4, and 5.1 (NOT 5) should all be chemically compatible with your ABS if you can't perform a complete flush.
Just be aware that when you mix those fluids (depending on ratio) the boiling points and hygroscopic properties will be compromised between the different fluids, so in order to get the most out of the replacement fluid, try to flush the system of the old fluid as much as possible.
