Subject: Changing brake fluid w/ABS... Help!!!
<SNIP>
Also, is it true that you SHOULDN'T use DOT 5+ fluid on cars with ABS?
I was sent some Motul DOT 5.1 fluid with my kit, but every place I look
I seem to find articles stating that I shouldn't use DOT 5 on my car.

Todd,
I used DOT5.1 in my 94 VR6, worked fine (with EBC Greenstuff pads + slotted
rotors, worked fantastically in fact). If my memory is working, DOT5 is
silicone based and must not be put into systems that have ever had anything
else, however DOT5.1 is completely different stuff (it's not like a software
version number :-) and is compatible with the DOT4 you've probably got in
there now.
I've not used the Super Blue so can't say anything about it, I expect it
would be good too.
