Re: Brake Fluid (Dave-T)
From the factory I think it was Dot 4. Definitely don't use Dot 5, it bubbles when the ABS flutters, and bubbles are bad. Plus it requires a complete purge of the brake system using some sort of alcohol cleaner.
I recommend Valvoline Synpower for its high tolerance to heat.

:yesnod: :iagree:
It is supposed to be DOT 3. According to my Helms: "Use Delco Supreme 11 Brake Fluid (GM P/N 1052535) or an equivalent DOT-3 motor vehicle brake fluid. DOT-5 silicone fluid is not recommended for use in the vehicle's base brake system. DOT-5 brake fluid should never be used."
pretty much sums it up.
