Bob,
Been using LMA since you recommended I do so in the '90's. I flush the system every two seasons and am about to do so now. Problem being-I can't find LMA locally (LI/NY) anymore. Bought it last time in May '08. Been all over Castrol USA's site and can't even find a brake fluid category!
What I do find everywhere (including online) is 'Castrol GT LMA
Synthetic Formula'. Did this new formula supercede the original?? I simply will not use a
synthetic brake fluid. I see this new one has a wet boiling point of 324 deg vs. 310 deg of original. Not a huge improvement, especially not in just hard street use.
A (very) few online vendors show the non-synth. original but the handling/shipping charges are more than the cost of 3, 12 oz. bottles that I use. (Example-Jegs is $13, Summit $10)
So-do you guys like a different brand of fluid that is
friendly to the Girling seals and has a 'performance' rating and good boiling point? Valvoline, for example? I am not talking about Wilwood or SRX type performance or prices. LMA has always been a bargain all these years.
Failing that, what's a smart way or good place to buy the good old LMA?
Castrol GT LMA alternative?
