Best Brake fluid for Volkswagen Passat
I decided to go with Castrol GT LMA. It was reasonably priced and should do the job just fine.
Pros: reasonably priced
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I brought it into a VW dealer to have them do some recall work and had them check that out at the same time. They said it was because I was low on brake fluid and when I took a turn the fluid in the tank up front got below a certain point and set off the sensor.
Pros: fluid level sensor works
Cons: low brake fluid
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 60000 km
Valvoline makes a good brake fluid, it seems to hold up better than the castrol gt lma, the castrol gets dark in about a year, while the synthetic valvolne stuff stays clean longer.
Pros: stays clean longer
Cons: castrol gets dark
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Bleeding the brakes would cost about $5.00 for a quart of the valvoline synthetic dot 4 brake fluid.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
