Question: Is there a substitute for Castrol GT LMA I could pick up at Autozone or wherever? I'd like to take that route instead of trying to special order a case of it. It's high time I do a good rebleed on both the clutch & brake. If all else fails, should I just wing it with DOT 3? Oh Yeah, Change it to silicone dot whatever. This will not eat up you paint work if leaks occur and it is less Hydroscopic so it does not suck up water which will eventually ruin your lines. I run Silicone Dot 5 in all my Triumphs, they have not seen Castrol for decades. I have just replaced the fluid too with a good bleeding not a major complete line purge. Only down side to silicone is that under extreme use it may freak out, boil over, and make your brakes fade big time. This happened to me once, but I was flogging my TR8 on the Nelsons Ledges Road Course at the time. Cheers, Darrell Your messages not reaching the list?
