wildwood brakes

What brake fuid are you guys running that have these brakes.
Do you think a standard dot3 will work fine or should I buy there fluid

Wow, I can't believe noone has chimed in on this.

I use the DOT4 synthetic from Valvoline. I have use it on many different cars (including my P/M on my GN) and had no problems whatsoever. Always seems to work better after the second flush/changing. I guess cause more of the old #3 is removed.

Does wildwood say that they won't warranty thier product without thier fluid?

I didnt see anything about having to use the fluid just recomended(of course)
I am going with dot3 to check for leaks and then I will change it to the valvoline

Huh???

Why would you do that?
Just as easy to "check for leaks" with the synthetic, and the system would not be contaminated w/ 3.
Using 3, and having leaks can/will ruin any paint it comes in contact with.
If you are thinking "cheaper".. Not, as you will have to pump a considerable amt of syn thru to remove the 3....
But, that's just my $.02.. reality may differ.
