Pentosin Racing Brake Fluid?

Anybody out there have any experience with Pentosin Racing Brake Fluid for normal day - to - day operation on a Porsche?

How about silicone brake fluid? I know that I would have to flush the complete brake system (calipers, lines, master cylinder and reservoir if I were to start using silicone fluid. What are the drawbacks?

Why would you want to do this on a street car? Also, I've heard that some systems are incompatable with the silicone fluids.

It's more important to flush the system than to put in fancy brake fluid.

Grab a quart of fluid with DOT3 approval and flush them out. Get the pricier name-brand version if you want to pamper your car.

I believe that DOT 4 is the minimum for a Porsche. I want non-hydroscopic fluid, as the car is almost 40 years old and wish to minimize corrosion due to water absorption.

that outta be a great ride... we (frau and I) had a '46 Series 61... whatta automobile; i can't remember the idle rpm but you could balance a filter cigarette on it's butt on the oil-bath air-filter with the engine at idle.. the cigarette would stay there until you reved the engine or the wind blew.

at one time we had three Caddy's in the drive, the '46, a '76 Coupe Deville, and a '79 Seville (as well as a piss poor USofA manufactured VW Rabbit Diesel) and a Honda 750.
