Any recomendations for what type of brake fluid to use with Wilwoods?
*** Road use only, no track ****

And how much will I need?
I'm changing the front calipers, MC & rear lines
So will basically need to replace all the fluid.

well if its only for road use then i would have thought dot 3 or 4 would do?... if you are going to put dot 5 or 6 in though make sure there is absolutely no 3 or 4 in the system... they dont like mixing :)

DOT4 if you bought them new it says on the warranty tags ;)

Stick decent quality in though no cheapo shit.

Any DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 with a good or even ok brand name on it. You should not really use DOT 3 as its not up to spec but it would likely work anyhow as its similar to DOT4, I would not recommend though. The one to avoid is DOT 5 as its a totally different thing. Yes I know the numbers are confusing lol

makes sure its quality stuff may cost a fair bit but its worth not skimping
