Does anybody know how to tell the difference between regular (DOT3) brake fluid
and silicone (DOT5?) fluid? I just just got an M35 from the army and I've noticed
some of them at the DRMO have stickers near the master cylinder that say to use only
silicone brake fluid and some don't. So at least some trucks have the new (expensive)
stuff. Is there a sure-fire way to tell the difference? I need to add a bit of fluid
and I sure don't want to put the wrong kind in. Thanks.
