Hi ya,
In spring of 2021, I bled and replaced the brake fluid with new DOT3 fluid. I think the one I got is labeled as Super DOT3 with higher boiling point than regular DOT3/4. Probably marketing. But it was same priced.
I've since put in ab out 3000km during last year's driving season.
In preparation for the upcoming season, I did my usual checks and noticed the brake reservoir fluid were dark brown! The car is stored in a dry garage all covered up. The cap was tight.
I am surprised at how quick it hydroscopic itself from light Chardonnay colour to dark Amber ale colour. There's no leak AFAIK.
Like to know the cause before performing a full bleed process. Any thoughts?
