Important Note: While DOT 3 is the correct type, it's crucial to always refer to your owner's manual for the specific recommendations for your 1970 VW Bus. There might be specific requirements based on the model or modifications.
Why DOT 3?
* Compatibility: DOT 3 brake fluid is compatible with the rubber seals and hoses found in older vehicles like the 1970 VW Bus.
* Boiling Point: DOT 3 has a good boiling point, which is essential for preventing brake fade, particularly during heavy braking.
Additional Tips:
* Check Fluid Level: Regularly check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir.
* Fluid Color: Brake fluid should be clear or slightly amber in color. If it's dark or discolored, it should be replaced.
* Avoid Mixing: Avoid mixing DOT 3 with other brake fluids like DOT 4 or DOT 5.
* Consult a Professional: If you are unsure about the proper brake fluid for your vehicle, consult a qualified mechanic.
Remember, proper brake fluid maintenance is essential for safe and reliable braking performance.
