    Don't mix different grade brake fluids though.

    Ok cool, thanx mate.
    I guess I'll be stashing away the old brake oil for future wound healing applications.


    BTW, the vehicle is dual fuel & it idles only around 600ish when cold started.
    Fast idle is not working on both fuels when cold at the moment.
    Not sure the reason.
    I just noticed, when cold started and when I press the brake pedal hard, rpm drops by around 150-200.
    Once it's warmed up, I can't see any significant change of RPM when brake pedal is pressed hard.
    Does this mean, I still have some issues with the vacuum lines(vacuum level)?!
    I was suppose to properly test the vacuum level using vacuum tester.
    I can't find the damn thing. Still looking for it.
    I'm still suspicious about the vacuum system.
    It didn't do well with the cigarette smoke test(my previous thread).
    I need to do a proper vacuum test soon.
    RPM drop happens when I press the pedal hard, probably meaning a small vacuum leak,
    either in the booster or other parts of the vacuum lines??!!

    Any thoughts?

    Thanx
