Any of you guys know what type oil to but in hydraulic the brake system?
Regular DOT 3 or 4
Thanks, the trailer manual don't give you much info.
For some reason i'm thinking it's DOT 4. I read this somewhere. What is the difference b/w 3 & 4? Also can ask Lyn Dyer on the trailer fourm.
Dot 3 and 4 can be interchanged or mixed.
Dot 4 has a higher boiling point {wet and dry} than Dot 3. But Dot 3 still rates high enough to be used for trailer brakes.
Dot 2 was for drum brakes only, but it is not used anymore.
Dot 5 is Silicone based and does not mix with Dot 3 or Dot 4.
If I'm wrong please correct me. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/glasses.gif

I read some where what to use. I just don't remember what. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif I do have the bottles in the shed, i'll have to check and see what they are.
