Metal cans won't but try finding brake fluid in metal cans.

Metal cans is the only way I buy it. Who knows how long the plastic bottles have been hanging around at the warehouse... Just say no to brake fluid in plastic bottles. Plastic bottles with foil lined caps and vacuum deposition metallized insides would probably do the job but they are trying to wring the last 1/8th penny of profit from any sales.

Brake Fluid I can buy locally in metal cans...

Pentosin DOT4 I can get both Super DOT4 and low viscosity DOT4 LV locally at Bond Auto Parts. DOT4 LV is a 1-2 day turnaround to order it in Super DOT4 is on the shelf. I believe Pentosin is available on-the-shelf at AutoZone for you folks in the city.


ATE DOT4 Type 200 and SL-6 are not as common to find on the shelf but the local NAPA franchise can and will get me the low viscosity SL-6, that I run in my LS4 Impala and VW, in 2-3 days. I have no problem stocking several metal cans because it keeps. They have several local folks with MGB and other semi-antique British cars that use this stuff too.
