Just rebuilt the brakes on the TR3 and was gonna nip over to NAPA for a bottle of DOT 5 any problem with their own brand?

Thanks
 
Never used it, but have always used whatever was cheapest (usually on Amazon) and cannot tell the difference.

I suppose it is purple and compatible with whatever DOT5 you might use later.
 
Napa was the only place I could find it for many years. Never have had a problem.
I assume you are already running DOT 5 and are just topping up.
If you are switching to DOT 5,
get help on how to prepare your lines, cylinders, etc. I don't recommend mixing silicone with non-silicone.

Is that Temecula Frank?

All new calipers,cylinders etc. never had 3 or 4 in them There's hasn't been any fluid in the lines in about a year. Is there anything I need to do to the lines?

Thanks guys
