But I rather stick with 12 months or 40,000km. Dot5 don't use unless specified by manufacturer. Using DOT 5 in a DOT 3 or DOT 4 system without proper flushing will cause damage to the seals and cause brake failure. DOT 5 brake fluid is not compatible with anti-lock brake systems from what i know. Dot 5 is silicone based vs. glycol based and cannot be mixed. I have used heavy duty or super dot4 race spec which still works ok on standard seals. But I just use normal Shell or Bosch dot 4 now as the car never sees such high temps. Dot5 should only be used in race preped cars and the brake systems are all custom built with new lines, pump seals, calipers etc. and the cars don't have ABS systems in them. It is almost impossible to flush out a dot4 or dot3 system completely so there is always a risk of a leak or seal failure to occur. I have used Shell dot 4 since day 1 in my car and everything still works well with no leaks and the car is going on its 14th year (243,000km) with all original seals and master pump from factory not yet changed. Point is use reasonably good stuff and change 1year or 40,000km. Just changed to bosch dot4 as the Shell is getting ridiculous in price. RM28++/liter of Shell dot 4. Bosch only RM25.00/liter I used about 1.5liters for my car to flush and completely bleed the brakes.Teflon hoses are not universal they have to have the correct brake line fittings in order that they can be fitted to the stock calipers and hose lines for the car. You can get them at Pro-RS RM350. http://www.pro-rs.com/Contact.html They basically can custom make for any car as long as they have the correct fittings for the caliper and brake lines.</blockquote>
