atilovi, heck yeah. It was only $18/qt with my discount. And to do all "my" cars I used many qts.

It's hard to stop people with plenty of moola...

Anyways, I was just answering Yah-Tah-Hey's question about the DOT 3&4.
It seems weird that you can have a DOT3 and a DOT4 in the same bottle.
No, wait a minute. There are multi spec's ATF's, right? What am I thinking?

For my next brake fluid change, I'll be using Toyota DOT3 in all my vehicles.
And doggonit, that may still be too expensive for your tastes.

Thanks for replies ... While bleeding the brake lines assures you are removing old brake fluid from the brake lines - hopefully removing brake fluid from the master cylinder then refilling with fresh fluid does make it down the brake lines to refresh the old fluid in the lines ?

If you remove old fluid and top off before bleeding, it will go a little faster since the fluid in the lines will get new fluid faster.
The passenger rear usually takes the longest to get clear since it is the furthest from the master cylinder.

Theoretically, when you step on the brake you are moving a column of fluid through the lines, and when you take your foot off, the column of fluid goes back the other direction. Maybe 1/4 or 1/2 inch in each direction. That the new fluid in the reservoir will mix with old fluid all the way back at the rear is anybody's guess. Maybe, maybe only after a year or two.
