Default Re: Rear Brake Not Returning

Brake fluid attracts water which causes corrosion, changing it regularly can prevent corrosion in brake system, the other problem is that water boils at a much lower temperature than brake fluid and under prolonged heavy braking can be an loss of brakes - thank goodness for good engine braking on SV...more modern brake fluids are also less viscous than before to cater for ABS - Mobil make an ESP version of fluids that are thinner.
