Which Brake fluid?
Hi Guys & Gals,
Which brake fluid are you using for the 07, C6 w/ /Z51 package.? I went to the dealer & the guy doesn't know which brake fluid. I have use dot 4 for the last 2 years. It seems like I have to fill my brake fluid every 6 months (1/2 to 3/4 quart). Is this normal? Thank you for all of your advice.

You will have to add as the pads wear and the piston extend out drawing more fluid out of resevoir, The same as when you put new pads in and when forcing back pistons the fluid level will rise in the resevoir! That is why its a good reason to bleed out brakes when changing pads. Dot 4 is good but i use dot 5.1 [not dot 5 that is synthetic]

Worry about the brand after you find where the fluid is going!
