Yeah, power bleeders are definitely nice, for sure.

You dont have a wife/girlfriend to pump a brake pedal for ya? Just think about her caressing that pedal with her feet...mmmmm...

...but I digress... lol

I got one of those, she is either busy doing real estate or getting her nails done. I would have better luck/results getting a bleeder

Tell her to do her nails while pumping brake pedals

Haha, just kidding. Power bleeders are way faster anyway, go with that.

if i was changing to the silicone fluid, what would be the process to bleed the lines? what benefit would this fluid give me any way?

Our cars are not designed for silicon brake fluid, that would likely be a very bad idea. It is more compressible, doesn't absorb moisture, doesn't seal as well and doesn't have the correct viscosity to work with the ABS system.

Use high temp DOT 4 or DOT 5.1, but never DOT 5.

Lol, good catch. I probably should have read the whole message last night, huh...

Most people use Motul RBF600, or AP Racing's fluid. Rumor is, Super Blue isnt good enough.
