Brake Fluid
 

I'm planning to flush my brake fluid out of the system. I would like to know if it is OK to use the regular DOT 4 brake fluids available in Pepboys or Salvo. I have 2002 base boxster with automatic transmission. The Porsche dealer close to my area was closed for business and the nearest is 60 miles away. Thanks

buy online. probably cheaper anyway.

"break fluid" - Do you mean BRAKE fluid? I hope your mechanical skills don't BREAK your car.

Break Fluid = Scotch or Bourbon

DOT 4

If flushing buy a different color than what you have, if Gold buy Blue, easy to tell when old fluid has flushed.

If you are doing a flush, first check the color in your reservoir. If it's pale or yellow looking, get the blue. This way you can see the color change when bleeding. 1 can will do the trick. ;)

I used Prestone DOT 4 on my '02 986 and had no issues.
