Hi all,
I'm doing an all around brake job in my e46 on the WE, w new brake hoses and a complete flush of the old fluid. I have two questions if you don't mind.
1) How much brake fluid should I have on hand for that? I don't think I ordered enough. I went with 2 L of the ATE DOT4 SL.6
2) Since I don't think two L are enough now, what DOT4 that I can find at the store here can I mix with (No time to order more of the same SL.6)? Would it be okay if I got 2 more L as backup from NAPA https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BFR40012 ?
Or Carquest? : https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/wearever-dot-4-brake-fluid-1-quart-w20017/10893760-P?navigationPath=L1*14924%7CL2*15037%7CL3*16113%7CL4*-49996987
I am aware it would dilute the low viscosity properties. Would that be acceptable? I'm on the OR coast, so not getting cold (maybe 35-38 F in winter)
Cheers
