[QUOTE="YFCvii, post: 249391, member: 3252"] Hello, Visiting a GM Corvette Dealership today and a topic of Brake Fluid came up. The Dealership Service Tech summed everything up to begin with by saying " ... all good, everything is moving to DOT4 now ... " I was all ears in the conversation ... so ... Yes, if one tracks their Corvette, DOT4 Brake Fluid should be used. If not tracking, then DOT3 Brake Fluid. Is there anything else to note though ??? Question ... If a non-tracking Corvette Owner replaces Brake Fluid with DOT4, would the only draw-back from this be that the next Brake Fluid replacement will be required sooner than if DOT3 is used? Resulting, if this Dealer advocation is true, might be that a Dealership is switching/moving/using DOT4 so that this fluid replacement maintenance is required more frequently for the non-tracking vehicle owner. Ultimately more Service income & shop fees for the Dealership over time. Just a thought .... but wondering if the vette-tech gurus on here might be able to value-add to this latest discovery. I will tag [USER=915]@turbozig[/USER] to see if he has info/opinion ... thx [/QUOTE]
