| Feb 19 at 14:00 | comment | added | pqnet | I think the question you want to ask would be more about which kind of issue you can expect from using incompatible brake fluids: would the brakes "brake less" from day 1, or would they get damaged over time by using an incompatible brake fluid? And if so, after how much time would you be able to notice? | |
