hey i need some suggestions on some brake fluid you guys would reccomened for my 2000 lexus lx470.

it says to add fmvss no.116 dot 3 or sae j1703
so any dot 3 fluid will work?

 

Any high quality DOT3 should work. Always use a fresh container & don't let any get on the paint. It may soften the paint.

 

ATE super blue - thee best!

 

Thanks... ...why cant people explain why??


here is my answer...
Any Quality DOT 3 will work in your Lex....
I personally use a Ford Dot 3 because of its higher Boiling point.
I use in in my S2000, Civic SiR Coupe and 99 Chev Suburban.

Its a popular fluid for racers and heavy vehicles because of the heavy use but it will absorb moisture quickly so your better off to change it once a year if you use Ford Dot 3.

Good Luck...

 

I've had excellent results using Valvoline SynPower brake fluid in the race car, street cars, and even the tow vehicle.
No matter what you choose, flush & change it yearly and you'll probably be fine.
