Looks like I'm a day late.

I'd be staying with the TYP 200 as it has a higher boiling point. All of the ABS/Stability controllers have been designed around DOT 3.

The SL.6 may have a more stable and therefore lower viscosity at -40°C (-40°F), but the upper limit and normal temp viscosities are all going to be similar.

At -40°, I won't be putting my tail on the cold seat behind the steering wheel.

S5.1.3. Kinematic viscosities. When brake fluid is tested according to S6.3, the kinematic viscosities in square millimeters per second at stated temperatures shall be neither less than 1.5 mm2 /s at 100 °C. (212 °F.) nor more than the following maximum value for the grade indicated: (a) DOT 3: 1,500 mm2 /s at minus 40 °C. (minus 40 °F.). (b) DOT 4: 1,800 mm2 /s at minus 40 °C. (minus 40 °F.). (c) DOT 5: 900 mm2 /s at minus 40 °C. (minus 40 °F.).

Thank You

Jack, Thanks! What a great place this is, to be able to ask some tab data questions, and have the resources to back it up..

I hadnt ordered yet, was crossing my fingers you would reply..

Typ 200 it is, I need to flush the entire system. How many liters should I order?

 

One L can do the job but I usually usually always have two on hand just in case. Just remember that if you are having someone push on the brake pedal that they do not press more then 1/2 way to the floor in prevention of damaging the M/C cups at the back of its chamber.

Right rear, left rear, right front, and left front will be the steps. Even if you are doing this without removing the wheels it's a good time to back off the caliper sliding pin bolts two or three turns then check how easily the pins move side to side. The lower front pins will be hesitant if they have the rubber bushings on the ends, of course.
