ls400_1999 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Folks, Today, I did brake flushes for all my cars (Benz S500 2000 , Porsche Boxster 1999, Honda Accord 2003, Lexus LS400 1999). I used DOT4 ATE Super Blue for all the cars using the Motive power bleeder. When I am done, I just realize that the Lexus LS400 use DOT 3 fluid as indicated on the cap! (The other 3 care all DOT4) I am kind of embarassing about not reading what is one the cap :-( I was kind of trying to finish the job and I thought all modern cars will use the same fluid. So the big question is can I use DOT4 fluid on the 1999 LS400 Lexus? Any expert out there can give some advices? Please? If not what do I do now? Re-flush with DOT3 ? Thank a lot.

Lexusfreak Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 ATE Super blue (or 'Smurf Blood') fluid is excellent stuff....and DOT 4 is fine in place of DOT 3.....you'll be just fine. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Interesting assortment of vehicles you have. It's always insightfull to get real world commentary. Since you have essentially a long term basis for comparison, what has your experience been with these cars? How would you rate them against each other?
