REFLECTOR: Matco Brake fluid

[Sid Knox]

Unfortunately, there are two DOT5 fluids out there.... DOT5 and DOT5.1. 
They are NOT the same.  5.1 is NOT silicone.  Go here to unsnarl it all.

If it is the silicone -5 you want, it is available at most(?)  auto parts 
stores.  It is not cheap.... I recently paid about $10 for a 10 oz. can.

The Velocity manual chapter 8 says to use DOT 5 brake fluid for Matco 
brakes. Where can you buy Dot 5 brake fluid or what is everyone else using.
