What Brake Fluid?

[Jumbojim]

Gentlemen

Would you please tell me the correct DOT of Brake Fluid to use in a 10yr. old CL500.

Thank you

 

[Dieselman]

DOT 4 or DOT 4.1

 

[wemorgan]

Did you mean 4.1? I thought it would be DOT 4 and 5.1.

 

[brigadier]

yes dot 4 or 5.1 should be used.

 

[markjay]

But NOT DoT 5...

The guys at Halfords told me to use the LOW VISCOSITY dot 4 fluid as it is better for ABS systems. What do you think of that advice?
