Hmm..don't know.
But,Im sure going to ask when I take it in to the shop tomorrow.
We changed the fliud every time with the old one,but still had problems.Then 
one shop put new brake lines..SS.
Locked up a couple weeks later.They had not replaced the caliper..just 
greased it.I tried to tell them what it was but they look at me like I'm 
crazy.
I am pretty meticulous when it comes to changing fluids I may not do it 
myself but when I have my car in for other things I get these done.
I just wish I could find someone capable of working on my car so if anyone 
knows of a good mechanic in the Ocean City,MD are please LMK.
