I'm guessing a 16oz can of dot 4 would fill the clutch, front and rear brakes? If not, how much?
Also, I'm looking at getting synthetic fluid. IIRC it doesn't absorb moisture....
Will a 16oz can do the job?
Also, how much 50/50 radiator fluid do I need?
I know these ?'s have been asked/answered, but I'll be darned if I can find it!
TIA Cranky

Check out the dot 5.1 has a higher boiling point. You have to stick with the glycol based fluid.

I have never had a problem with DOT 4. one 6 or 8 oz. can will easily do brake clutch and rear reservoirs.
