[DeTomaso] DoT 3 vs. DoT 4 for brakes

[Stephen]

Sam - thank you for speaking out on Dot 5.  Likewise, I have an XKE which
has seen 130,000 miles with Dot 5 in both the clutch and brake systems with
not problems.  I have used Dot 5 exclusively in my vintage cars for 30
years.  These include a Volvo 1800 ES, MGB, Jag 3.8 S.  

But then, I don't race my cars.

I only use a DOT 5 (Silicone) in my non ABS cars including the Pantera. Does
not absorb moisture like DOT 3 and 4, does not eat paint, and never has
leaked for me.
